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.

“Very nice on the outside. This location has no parking lot for it's customer's or families. I was there for a viewing for a family member as we was in the chapel viewing the body, I had a sound of water pouring as i started to look around at the ceiling. I noticed there was in coming rain water from the ceiling near the casket . I was like what the hell who let's rain water coming in from the ceiling near a casket while the family is viewing the body. The staff member statement was. that just started. no ma'am that was more water spots in the ceiling as i started to look around more into it. The Funeral home didn''t try to correct the situation nor tired to move the casket from leaking roof.”
