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.

“My wife and family couldn't be sadder to write this review or even say that we would highly recommend them. The smoothest part of loosing our son was the way they handled everything for us. Very small error corrected instantly. They were by far the most caring understanding funeral home her or I have ever used. We both have barried our father's so unfortunately we do have experience with dealing with funeral homes and funeral home directors. Thank you so much David and his family for helping us make this as smooth as possible. Such caring, and understanding people. My son deserved the best and my wife and I feel as if he truly received the best from you guys”

“Randy and Heather have been the most heplful, patient, and kind people through our process of saying goodbye to our dad. Nobody can prepare for a loss like this, but the staff here spelled everything out and has taken a ton of stress out of the planning phase. I am blown away with the services here. Thank you.”
