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.
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.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our family cannot say enough wonderful things about the care and compassion we received during one of the most difficult times of our lives. From the very first conversation to the final moments of the service, the staff treated our father, Jeff Coss and our entire family with dignity, respect, and genuine kindness. They created such a beautiful service that truly honored his life. Every detail was handled with care and professionalism, allowing us to focus on grieving and being together as a family. Their guidance, patience, and thoughtfulness brought so much comfort to us. We are incredibly grateful for the love and support shown to our family. Thank you for helping us celebrate our dad in such a meaningful and beautiful way. We will always appreciate everything you did for us 🫶🏼”

“My father-in-law passed away the week before Christmas and his funeral service was the Friday before the Christmas weekend. The funeral home gave us the option to schedule on this day. I appreciated their professionalism when picking him up from the house. However there were several things I didn't like during the service. #1, the rental casket (he had a cremation) was dirty inside and out. The lid of the casket had stains and there was dirt on the outside of the casket as they didn't bother cleaning it. #2- I've never had to ask for a second box of tissues at a funeral home... where a bunch of people are there to cry and mourn. When I asked for a second box of tissues I was directed to the only box of tissues that they had provided. They did begrudgingly get out a second box of tissues for mourners to use after I pressed the matter. #3- I have never felt so rushed after a funeral service. As soon as the service concluded the director said that they would dismiss us by row to let us, "pay your final respects and then return to your vehicles." I have never been told to return to my vehicle directly after a funeral service and I felt rushed out because we were an inconvenience to them. Then as soon as the last person was out of the building they locked the doors behind us. I understand that they have personal lives and that it was close to Christmas, but if it was an inconvenience for them to have scheduled the funeral for that day then they should have told us that we could not hold the funeral service that day. I wouldn't use them again.”
