Questions to Ask When You Call
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.
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.

“My heart truly goes out to friends and family who missed the virtual service due to this funeral home's negligence. As if this year isn't hard enough with COVID devastation, the loss of family members, and now the inability to see off that loved one. He deserved much better than that and the funeral home should be ashamed of themselves for such unprofessionalism and carelessness when dealing with this sensitive matter.”
