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.

“Everything was so nice and the people are so supportive and helpful. Very thrilled with the Bowling Street Center and the calm and comfortable space provided. They transported everything to the church for us and so we had nothing to worry about. All paper folders and videos could not have been nicer. Follow up communications have been professional and kind and we are very happy with everything.”

“We felt so well taken care of. Matt was amazing in his care to walk us through each step of the planning and process.
