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.

“Kings Funeral Home service my family with my mom home going. They did a beautiful job! My family had done business with Kings many of times and always did an amazing job. I could’ve had my queen prepared here in Illinois but knew Kings would make her perfect! And she was just that perfect! Mike made things so much easier with communication and just kindness. Thank you to all the professionals staff.”

“King's Funeral Home did a excellent job considering the obvious tension among family members. So it's absolutely amazing that Donovan Modest would take this opportunity to put personal issues out there. Donovan Modest was absent for pretty much the last stages of My Mom's battle with Cancer. Along with My Father Donny Modest who did not know about his wife passing until 2 days after her death, actually (Donny Modest) found out at his family reunion. Neglecting his (Devoted) dying wife who was in a hospice at this point. My only complaint was due to the handling of My Mom's body when she was picked up. Which Rev.Reese was generous enough to take off money for My Mom's service. So while Donovan Modest chose to make this moment about him, to disclose that you paid for My Mom's service was unnecessary. When you do something out of the decency of your heart, NO recognition is required. So Thank You to the staff of King's Funeral Home for taking care of OUR FAMILY and especially for caring for MY MOM. Humility is key a trait that Donny and Donovan Modest forgot about along time ago.”

“King's Funeral home has been a blessing to my family. They have shown compassion and professionalism in every detail for my great grandmother, grandmother, grandfather, aunts and uncles on both sides of my family. I recommend Kings because during difficult times they made sure our family was comforted.”
