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.

“Went here for the a friend's relative's funeral and it scarred me for life!! The place looks like a run down garage. They put the dead body in and turn on the fire. It was so loud you could hear grinding noise coming out of the thing. Ever watch Saw movies and someone getting cut in halves with a grinder? It was exactly like that. Needless to say ALL the relatives, INCLUDING friends were crying as the noise got louder. You would think places like this use some kind of sound proof material to keep it quiet, you'd be wrong. I'm used to death but whatever happened back when I was here, it sounded like a live show butchery.”
