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 appreciated all aspects of our time with RDU Cremation. The facilities are welcoming, new and clean. Jeffrey provided a tender and respectful introduction. He made our decision making very easy and answered all our questions. He was sensitive to deliver the services that best suited our family. Thank you for everything. We shared our wonderful experience with the transport company when he shared it's part of RDU Cremation's service. Here is a review we left on DART Facebook. Chris and Matthew arrived with DART transport early Saturday morning, October 19 to provide service for our father. They both provided a respectful and honoring preparation for the family to say goodbye. Chris entered our home and communicated with tenderness and understanding. We immediately felt comforted. Thank you to Chris, Matthew and DART for providing the best service for our hearts and our Dad. Thank you for everything you did for our family.”
