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.

“Mr Bubba treated me like his own family member. I had to make the arrangements for my Mother by myself and was very upset. Mr Bubba took his time with me and helped me through out the entire process. They even checked on me numerous times just to make sure I was doing okay. Like I said I was treated like a member of their family. They were all so very kind to me in such a difficult time. I will definitely use them again should the situation arise. Thank you for everything.”

“The team at Bradford-Okeefe in Biloxi, was very professional and supportive. Planning my Father's services was my first experience in planing a memorial service. I was helped every step of the way. The team performed excellent during the service all the way to the grave site. I would recommend this team to anyone needing memorial services during these difficult times. I was contacted and offered supportive services to my family any myself during the weeks after my Father's passing. Thank you to the entire team at Bradford O'Keefe.”
