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 Funeral director not only allowed changes to the funeral requested by other family members that were not approved by the persons paying for and set up the funeral but also took the guest book and all the cards out of flower arrangements and gave them to whom he ( the funeral director) felt he should give them too! Not only was this upsetting but caused even more grief, anxiety, and unnecessary anger and heartbreak. This was the worse experience I have ever experienced with a funeral home. Complete ignorance. And found out later that said funeral director was complaining about how he didn’t get paid! He should have really taken up payment with whom he felt was appropriate to make changes and receive said items! He should consider himself lucky he wasn’t sued!”
