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.

“DRT Mortuary Transportation provided excellent service during a difficult time. They handled my father-in-law with dignity and respect. The employees dressed in professional business attire. They were courteous & compassionate. I admired the way they not only had the American flagged draped over my father-in-law, but they also had a couple small flags on their transport vehicle.”
— Sandra Coshow
“Absolutely Pathetic, My mother's jewelry was stolen from her dead body by his employee who is also his daughter and I can prove it because of very good documentation of her jewelry along with signatures up to the point his driver took posetion of my mother and her belongings,, Upon arrival Coroner reports only receiving my mother's corpse and her SOILED CLOTHS.. I do not believe that my mother is the only victim. - 5 stars by the way.”
