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.

“During one of the hardest times as a young adult having to prepare for my mom’s services, I was connected with Jim here at the funeral home. Jim made that first hard phone call a very smooth one, preparing me for what information I would need and lending an ear. The first time meeting with Jim to schedule arrangements he made everything very comforting for my family and I. This job is one of the hard ones where you constantly watch loved ones make decisions on behalf of laying their beloved family member or friend to rest, but Jim didn’t hesitate, he jumped right in to help wherever needed. There was no stress or concern, my family and I were able to solely focus on my mom only. Highly recommend their services!”

Your team truly went above and beyond in every aspect of the funeral arrangements, and we were deeply moved by the compassion and professionalism shown throughout the entire process. From the moment we first contacted your funeral home, we were struck by the kindness and sensitivity of your staff. They took the time to listen to our needs and concerns, and worked closely with us to create a truly personalized service that honored our loved one's memory in the most meaningful way possible. Throughout the visitation and funeral, your team was always there to offer guidance and support, and their attention to detail was truly remarkable. We were particularly touched by the small gestures of kindness, such as the comforting words and gentle touches that helped us feel more at ease during such a difficult time. In short, we cannot thank you enough for the care you provided to our family during this challenging time. Your dedication to your work is truly inspiring, and we will always be grateful for the kindness and compassion you showed us.”

“I have always been impressed by the Kaczor Funeral Home. They took care of my sisters and my brother. More recently my husband. Jim was very caring and made sure everything was as I wanted it to be. The day of the funeral was very stressful but the staff of Kaczor's made sure everything was taken care of. From the funeral home to the church and to the cemetery where a military honor guard was present. I'm grateful to them for easing the pain I felt at my husband's loss.”
