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.

“Having a viewing inside a casket catalogue was one of the tackiest things I’ve ever seen. The room was filled with advertisement canvases - and of course the corpse for the viewing. Wow. Then at the end of the viewing a VERY rude woman came and in a VERY rude tone asked everyone “to please exit at this time”. It wasn’t so much what she said, it was this rude impatient tone, her voice was devoid of all compassion for the daughter literally sobbing over the body as she was asked to leave. Cannot recommend - been to many viewings and how this family was treated was just the worst.”

“The staff seemed very unorganized! They said they would call for arrangements by a certain time and never did. When a family member finally reached out because no one from Funeral Caring did, it took them over an hour to get back with her. Then i called about another question later that day and had an employee say "oh... i don't know if we do that" and never offered to look in to it. They also tried to add extra costs on after agreeing to a certain price point... because it's easy to take advantage of people who are grieving. Aside from the under qualified and rude staff the viewing room was literally just a room to advertise for coffins... like seriously? They couldn't even put some tacky wall art?”

“We recently laid my Dad to rest and used Funeral Caring. From day 1, they were nothing but helpful and respectful during the most difficult time for us. Sandra Morales was our funeral director and she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Everything went very smoothly and was very organized the day of his services and I will be forever grateful. I definitely recommend them to anyone in need for their loved ones.”
