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.
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.

“My Dad is nearing the end of his hospice journey.In order to be prepared we looked up the white Funeral Homes. On the website, they state that they will help with pre-planning. My Mom called to make an appointment. The Mr. White that she spoke to was NOT helpful! He told her she should stay home and spend his last days with her husband. She said she wanted to get preparations set so she wouldn’t have to worry about it when the time comes. He repeated that she should spend time with my Dad instead of doing this. It was harsh and offensive, especially since they advertise that they will help with preplanning. For him to insinuate that she was not spending enough time with my Dad was not acceptable. We found another funeral home that kindly helped her with pre-planning.”

“Carol was so kind, friendly, and helpful to me while waiting for my initial appointment. She also quickly facilitated everything else I needed. Jim was great! He was so easy to work with and was patient and kind with me and wonderfully professional. He took lots of time to explain the options and left all information on the table and was honest about what made the most sense financially in our situation. I am so grateful for them during this trying and sad time.”
