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 name is Shianne Vazquez, I don’t usually don’t write reviews but the service I’ve received from Stuart Mortuary needs to be seen. Not only did I receive the run around with my mothers ashes by them not returning calls and constantly giving me later dates to pick her up , they spelt her name wrong on the physical ashes after I’ve printed it on countless pieces of paper, they claimed to have thrown away some of her belongings and the items that they did give me were not hers. Once I confronted the man about throwing away my mother‘s belongings he then stated that there was nothing inside of them, and it was considered trash. I do not understand how another person‘s belonging are considered trash, regardless of what it is. I really hate that this is what it came down to considering I was recommended to this funeral home from the state. They are really nice people, but I feel like my mother was mishandled and not taken into consideration whatsoever.”

“My beloved Uncle Phillip chose this organization prior to his joyful reunion with Jesus. The man shows his wisdom even in passing. I believe I can speak for the entire Warren family when expressing gratitude to Stuart Mortuary for doing such an outstanding job. Corey and Larry Swanson, along with other unnamed professionals, made this a wonderful time of family reunion. I was treated like a beloved family member instead of just another number. Stuart Mortuary staff, alongside others like Pastor Simmons (Berean Bible Church), are my tangible proof of God's favor. Thank you all for helping navigate us through one of life's most difficult challenges. May you be blessed with the unsearchable riches of Christ Jesus!”
— Charles Warren
