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.

“I was very pleased with the service I received from the staff at Laurelwood Cemetery, particularly Trisha Troller. She spent as much time with me as I needed to handle the burial arrangements, including designing of the granite monument. The professionalism and help I received was a great comfort. In a time of need, you could not do better.”

“It was a pleasure working with Patricia. She is very knowledgeable about the services her employer provides. I gained knowledge of certain processes and I was able to make early decisions on them, all while not being presurred to make these decisions. In addition, Patricia’s smile and calm demeanor makes her easy to work with, especially my time of loss.”

“I can not say enough about the time and care given to me through the process of selecting a site.... what my options were and why.... found a perfect large plot.... and once found then planning for a huge custom stone. Bless Patricia Troller for being so supportive and patient with me through many meetings and about a dozen tweaks until I got it right. She was so good about saying until you are happy. It took quite a while since a very big stone but once it came in it was perfect. Now set, so now I need plantings. Trish again was so helpful for connecting me to someone that could help with the design and plantings and getting permission to place. Communication was always amazing. Daytime, night time, weekends. Have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. Trish you are a special positive person...and I thank you!!”
