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 staff is the best...they were compassionate and understanding and professional. I truly appreciate their service for my mom..whom they made look beautiful. Thank you for your help in my time of need”

“Big thank you to Rudy, Sharon and the staff for a tremendous job you did on my Auntie, she looked beautiful. I can’t thank you enough for all the love, and compassion and support that you all showed me and my family. Not only with my Auntie but you showed the same compassion for when we lost our brother. My family thank you all so so much. We were at peace when you said you would take care of it and we won’t have to worry. Everyone was professional and yet so so patient and kind. We could never repay you or thank you enough. My Auntie went out in style thanks to you. We love you all”

“Woody's did the funeral service for my grandmother and it was a horrible experience. The only reason I gave one star is because I had to in order to leave a review, but trust me when I say they do not deserve neither star....not one. The make up they put on my grandmother was too dark for her complexion and whomever the make up artist is, should be fired. The lip stick was everywhere except on her lips. They had my grandmother looking like Bo Bo The Clown laying there in that casket. They have some very shady insurance practices going on there, I will tell you that. Apparently, they put the wrong information on the insurance forms and had to change them, but my family members didn't sign the new forms- so who did??? Their prices are very reasonable compared to other funeral homes, but it comes with the lack of professionalism and quality work.”
