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.

“Service was NOT something I would ever want anyone I loved to endure. So many questionable things. They have to do better! The staff was rude..Just too many things to list..They should also invest in a better environment the office is a MESS and extremely disorganized..May Allah guide them to do better for grieving families.. my experience was not good and I was just there as a support for a grieving family. I would NEVER want them to bury me or anyone in my family! Unbelievable!!”

“Sister Khadija thank you... Sister Khadijah was exceptional in helping me understand the process of my daughter's Janazah, so patient... She connected me to a Masjid for the final service and also handled the services for a Islamic cemetery.. The entire staff in her office went beyond their duties during my grieving.. Sister Khadijah answered me weeks after the service for any questions I had.. I recommend..”

“This funeral home is horrible. We had my brother service here. Kadija made my siblings feel like we we were outsiders and we had no rights to anything with our brother. They had my family standing outside waiting for a half hour in the cold. The viewing was 10-11am. We wasn't permitted to go in until 10:30. We never got our 1 hour of viewing. They stated his children needed time with him. Kadija is disrespectful and unprofessional. Our experience here has been horrible.”
