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 family has recently endured the loss of our eldest brother. We decided to engage a reputable funeral home known for its attentive service, and thus chose Congo Funeral, a establishment our family has always trusted for its compassionate care and kindness. We were attended to by Danielle, who assumed responsibility for our needs. With her admirable spirit and welcoming demeanor, Danielle has distinguished herself as a valuable member of Congo Funeral. She has rendered this difficult experience more manageable and has demonstrated a willingness to go beyond mere arrangements. Our family intends to continue utilizing the services of Congo Funeral Home, and with Danielle remaining part of the team, other families will also have the opportunity to benefit from her professionalism and extensive knowledge during the arrangement process.”
