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.

“Stephanie quite literally pushed my grandmother along because she thought we were taking too long. My grandmother was already on her way to the vehicle but Stephanie turned her around and pushed her the other way, saying “we have got to GO”. She had given us very short notice that we had to leave and we all were complying. Not cool.”
— Max Gerrard
“Stephanie was rude, snappy, and rushed us along the entire time. Never again. Not the first bad experience my family has had with this woman and service.”
— Joseph
“This place went above and beyond for the services following my father's passing. The loss of your dad is hard enough but Stephanie took the time to come in on a Saturday evening to meet with my brother, sister and I. She helped walk us through making the obituary, guiding us with readings and songs for the funeral, contacting the priest and helping us with flowers and picture boards too. She is very caring and kind hearted and would HIGHLY recommend Gilbertson's to everyone!”
— Mark Roerick
