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 cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service and care provided by Parker funeral home. From the moment we contacted them, they treated our family with the utmost kindness, compassion, and professionalism during a time of great sadness and loss. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, guiding us through the entire process with patience and understanding. They provided clear explanations of the options available to us, allowing us to make decisions that truly honored our loved one’s memory. The attention to detail and the thoughtful touches they included made the service personal, meaningful, and beautiful. What stood out the most was the genuine warmth and empathy shown by the team. They didn’t just treat us as clients—they treated us as family, offering support beyond what we could have expected. The facility was peaceful, well-maintained, and comfortable, providing a serene environment for our loved one’s final farewell. We are deeply grateful for the exceptional service provided by their staff.
