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 mom passed away peacefully but suddenly on January 11, 2024. She was 101 years old - would have been 102 on April 3, 2024. No matter the age, it is always extremely sorrowful to lose a mother. We went to see Craig Bryce to make the arrangements - I have never met a person more wonderful, understanding, kind, and helpful than Craig. He and the family and staff at Bryce Funeral Home put us at ease in every possible way. Considerate and accommodating, they honored all our requests and answered our questions before we even asked them. Our mother's funeral was beautiful, and just like she wanted. There was no stress, or trying to remember things, or any concern - Craig just took care of everything and then some. I would not think of any other funeral home than Bryce, they took care of my father in 2014, and over the years they have taken care of many aunts, uncles, and in-laws. My family and I will be forever grateful and we cannot thank Craig Bryce and his family and staff enough. God bless you and all that you do for people in their time of great need.”

“During one of the most recent challenging times in our lives, Bryce Funeral Home provided exceptional care and support as we celebrated the life of our mom, Louise. David, in particular, was incredibly helpful, even planning the service months before her passing. When the time came, he stepped up and relieved a great deal of the burden and responsibility from my shoulders. His compassion and proactive approach made all the difference. I'm truly grateful for the outstanding service and genuine care we received from Bryce Funeral Home during this difficult period. Thank you David for guiding us with such professionalism and empathy”

“My family and I highly recommend Bryce Funeral Home. Craig, David and the Bryce team put so much work and care into making my father's services perfect. Everything was handled with such grace and support, from our initial meeting all the way through to the keepsakes put together for our family following the services. During such a difficult time, it was incredibly comforting to know that everything was being taken care of to carry out my dad’s wishes without the added stresses that can come with it.”
