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.

“Dealing with the loss of a loved one is already painful enough — the last thing anyone should have to experience is being ignored by the very people entrusted to help during this time. I’ve tried multiple times to reach out regarding a simple request for a death certificate, and I continue to be met with silence and lack of urgency. This isn’t just about paperwork — it’s about honoring your commitment and providing the service we were promised. Please do your job. Families deserve better during moments like this.”

“This funeral home is doing my son's funeral and they done the obituary for my son and I wasn't put in it as the father. I have called and left messages for them to return my calls and I never got a call back about this issue so if I could I would give them a -10 stars. Dad loves you Dustin Ray Chase”
