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.

“Pat and the entire staff went above and beyond to take care of my mom. I can not express how loving and caring this family owned funeral home is..... From the first minute I met with Pat in the pre-planning stage until the last goodbye at the grave site, my family and I always felt comfortable and felt like my mom was her only "client", being the only child, it meant the world to me that Pat took such great care of my mom as she knew I didn't have many to lean on at this time. They made her beautiful on her biggest day yet... Getting her wings! I always knew she was in good hands! So a big thank you to everyone there and if you don't want to feel like a "number" and you don't want a "cookie cutter" service for your loved one, call these folks! I will forever remember how helpful they were with me for the worst 5 days of my life!”
