You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“I can not say enough great things about Thompson’s. They have treated us like we were family and our son. Losing our child was the most horrible thing that we have ever experienced. We had no idea what to do or say. Fran was our life line If we ever needed anything she was there. She had the answers or knew where to find them them All our friends saw what we were going through and they all have commented on how great Thompson Funeral Home had been to us I hope Not to see you any time soon but we will be back”
