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 lost my husband and best friend. Planning a funeral is the hardest thing to do, but as soon as we entered the whole staff made us feel like they understood exactly what we were feeling. Very helpful. During the service I was checked on and hugged. I appreciate how they treated him with care. Thank you for getting me through the hardest day of my life. I highly recommend them in your time of need. Thank you to all the staff.”

“So pleased with our experience at this Funeral Home. The entire staff were compassionate, friendly and professional. They have crematory on site. Family member died suddenly, and we were able to make appointment quickly to discuss arrangements, and helped us through this difficult process. Day of service, parlor they offered was large, updated and very comfortable. Kitchen area was nice size and had attendant. Beautiful large digital picture of deceased by entrance of parlor. Price very reasonable and included cremation, large parlor, nice chapel and Deacon/minister (f you dont have someone to perform service) and attendant in charge day of service to help family and arrange pictures, flowers etc Also provide on line memorial/obituary. Can't say enough about our experience here, and would definitely recommend to others.”

“I worked with Meredith on the funeral for my spouse and I found her and all the other staff members were very patient, thoughtful and very knowledgeable in helping me with all the details that you don't think of when you are in the greiving process. I also chose L. A. Muhleisen & Son for the funerals when my mom and dad passed. I have always been extremely happy with their service. I highly recommend L.A Muhleisen and son.”
