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.

“This the worst funeral home in Memphis. My mom send off was suppose to be a beautiful ending to a beautiful life but the director and staff was the worst. Please don't let your love ones experience harder times through a hard time of grief. Worst funeral experience ever and there are cheaper funeral homes with cheaper prices that'll do better job on your love one than they did on my mom. WORST JOB I EVER SEEN.”
— Kian Jones
“Please do not trust them to handle your love one. We were not able to see our love one until the day of the service. They did not do anything according to the process to what the VA. They took my flag and other things DO NOT USE THEM. They were so unprofessional.”
— Linda Brooks
