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 wish I could give this place 0 stars , where should I start my Grandmother funeral was an In assault to my Grandmother and to my family. Emma Williams attached me verbally by speaking on family matters when I came to make arrangements for the funeral she is a lying money hungry hag. She was suppose to be my Grandmother’s friend so that mean she should have took her time with my Grandmother arrangements her makeup was horrible and she also lied about my Grandmother’s life insurance policies and about her not having pre burial arrangements. I would not let them bury my dead dog !”
