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.

“We recently lost our mom (November 2025) and didn’t know where to turn to accommodate her final wishes and arrangements. Lack & Sons Funeral Home in Hickory Hills was recommended by the church our mom attended. We were apprehensive and felt unqualified about this last, big step. From the first minute and in every interaction thereafter, Jen and Matt met us where we were, gently guiding us and supporting our every last request. I would recommend Lack & Sons Funeral Home based on our experience.”

“We had my brother, Mike's wake here in 2024. The owners were very helpful, respectful and attentive to our time and needs. The facility has plenty of parking, is clean and has a full dining area. They have a very relaxing section where you can observe live finches interacting and there is a small children's area as well. My brother knew so much about old cars. He also knew so many details about music. He was an icon who went to Heaven too soon. I miss you, Mike!!!!”
