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.

“The new management, particularly Kellie and her staff were absolutely amazing. She had every detail perfectly planned, she stuck to her word and had amazing communication throughout a difficult situation of planning my loved one’s funeral from out of town. Thank you Kellie for being there for us during this time.”

“Bob Hoven has always been so helpful in every possible way. I remember watching him remove his jacket to help bury someone after the Graveside Service. His son hopefully follows in his steps. Thanks for all your kindness and support. Dale Withers”

“STAY AWAYY!!! losing a loved one is probably one of the most difficult thing a person can go through, but losing a loved one then dealing with these people, has been damaging to my mental health. Monroe and her staff are some of the most insensitive and judgmental people you could ever have the displeasure of working with. They feel it’s their right to dictate your loved one’s final wishes and then feel they can judge your family during this difficult time. Between the errors in information and the constant talking crap about my family members, all while my mother’s cold body was still on the slab. I would’ve been better off burying her in my back yard. It would’ve saved me from the unwanted mental toll this place caused during the MOST DIFFICULT time of my life”
