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.

“My mom passed and had already made arrangements with Mr Frey. Apparently she made several changes over the years and he was very flexible. Mr. Frey was very kind and compassionate to my mother during those changes and even most recently, before her passing, he took time out to come to the nursing home with Greg and visit. Greg handled everything at her passing. He was very professional, compassionate, knowledgeable, and accommodating! Me and four of my sisters attended the meeting to finalize everything and was impressed with Greg's extreme patience! All five of us weren't totally in agreement and he took a lot of time guiding us!! We highly recommend Walter Frey Funeral Home at a time when you're most vulnerable. They not only take care of your loved one, but they'll take care of your whole family during a time that is so difficult! We're very grateful to Mr Frey and Greg!!!! We appreciate their reasonable rates and their knowledge. Most of all, their patience, politeness, and empathy! Again, we thank you......Greg and Walter”
