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 chose this home because they were sensitive, caring, and it felt like this wasn’t JUST a business transaction for them. They respect your feelings and guide you through the funeral in the best way possible, especially since during it all you cant think straight. They made me feel good despite my pain. Cindy took care of all of us and our concerns. I truly really appreciated her compassion, patience and care. Cindy, thank you for being there for us and for all the other people who come to you guys for the much needed guiding. I know this career path can have a heavy toll, but knowing you’re on the other side of our grief, helping us and others is truly such an amazing blessing to have. Take care of yourself Cindy, and know you’ve made such a heartwarming and everlasting impact in our hearts and souls.”

“Thank you Cindy and staff. Cindy was caring, kind and genuine. She provided guidance when we really needed it. I felt comfort, as soon as my son was in her care. Apologies I don't remember her name, but the mortuary cosmotologist really knows her craft because my son looked like an angel. I would like to thank you all for your support during this unimaginable loss.”

“Sad that we even had to find a funeral home in the first place, but Eastgate's staff is first class. Very compassionate and professional. We went to two other funeral homes and both of them were, "oh, you want a slide show? That will be this much more". "Oh, you want music? That will be this much more". Eastgate however had all of their pricing in a package rate, so no stress and more trust in them. I highly recommend.”
