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.

“Went through East County Mortuary for my father’s death. Excellent service during the process. However, I picked up his ashes at this AAA Cremations location since it was closer. The door stated the business was closed at the time of my appt. When the woman came out to talk, she didn’t introduce herself or call me by name, she just looked at me and glanced over her shoulder to the counter and said, “There are some papers I need you to sign.” She came out with my dad’s ashes in a bag, showed me the permit and death certificate and walked me to the door. With zero warmth, compassion or condolences, she handed me my loved one and said, “Thanks, bye!” Like it was a door dash delivery. I have no words for how horrible that felt.”
