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.

“Such a caring and concerned family owned business. Full of compassion and understanding. They have helped my family with both preplanned and unplanned services and they helped reduce the stress and angst in a most difficult time.”

“Tiffany was really friendly, extremely, understanding and empathetic. She laid out and explained all of the options that were available. Considering the reasons being there and previous experiences with other places I was impressed with how things are being handled.”

“My grandmother passed away in Georgia and her final request was to be buried next to my grandfather in Craigsville, WV. Her funeral was held in Valdosta, GA and then her body was driven to WV, to Simon & Coleman Funeral Home. Mr Tommy Coleman met us at the cemetery, with everything ready for the burial service. He answered every question we had and was so nice and respectful. I know he was just doing his job, but having him to talk to that day made a big difference to us. There's a saying that God puts people in our path at just the right time, I believe Mr Coleman was placed there for us and helped us get through such a tough day. If I lived in the area, I would most definitely use his services or recommend him to others. He's a great guy!!”
