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.

“It’s a great church, don’t get me wrong; it’s just that it seems that they put ALL their focus on the married people that go to their church. Bear in mind that there are single individuals that go to their church as well. And they do have a few things for them, but once you’re past the age of 33 AND divorced, it’s like you’re not seen at all. They don’t have ANYTHING for people like that. When I first started going to this church, I was married. But after my divorce, it’s like I fell through the cracks. I still attend because of the sound teaching, but yeah, that’s about it. Other than that, I feel like an odd ball. Valentines Day definitely made you feel like it. 😒 You guys just need to do more for the folks over mid-30’s and/or divorced/single.”

“Vistes today. Awesome welcome. Worship was beautiful and the sermon was very good. I like how the pastor is bold in his preaching. I felt it in my spirit”

“Imagine blessing people but didn’t allow parent bringing their kids to play on their playgrounds. They only allow kids to play on the playground if you pay them money. Everything is about money at this church, disappointed.”
