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 cannot say enough wonderful things about The Standard Funeral Home and the incredible care we received during an extremely difficult time. Rebbekah and the entire staff went above and beyond while helping us through my mother’s cremation. From the very first phone call, Rebbekah was compassionate, patient, and truly attentive to every detail. She made sure we understood each step of the process, answered every question with kindness, and offered support that felt genuine and heartfelt. The staff as a whole treated our family with dignity and respect, and their professionalism brought us so much peace during a moment when we needed it most. I am deeply grateful for the level of care they provided. Thank you, Rebbekah, and everyone at The Standard Funeral Home, for helping our family navigate such a tender time with compassion and grace. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need.”

“These are not just people doing a job, they are family using their God-given gifts of love and compassion. They feel like family from the get-go, and treat you with compassion. Most people are walking in a fog after losing a loved one, so what happens in the days following their death are somewhat of a blur. Every person employed at Standard participate in this journey with you and your family and continue to follow up with you in the days ahead. Thank you Rebecca and staff for continuing to love on us and offering grief counseling if we need that support .i highly recommend pre-planning and paying for your funeral. It makes this time go more smoothly. Love you Stsndard Fsmily. Thank you from all of Patricia Vaughan’s family”

Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine empathy meant more to us than words can express. We are so thankful for everything they did for our family. I would love to send a special thank you to Bryan, Elizabeth & Rebecca!”
