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.

“Just had my beloved sisters funeral with Dodds Dumanois yesterday. Melissa and Wayne did such an amazing job! I've went through many funerals with Melissa and I have to say she's by far the very best around! I love you all so very much”

“It is a pleasure for me to give a review of the Dodds Dumanois funeral home and it’s wonderful caring staff and particularly Melissa. She was so gracious and caring as an angel to watch over my family in our grieving hour of need. She exceeded every measure of honest counsel to help my family say goodbye and was always immediately available all weekend no exceptions to help me make the proper arrangements. I cannot fully express my gratitude that is in my heart only using words. May God Bless you Melissa and your exceptional staff for helping my family to honorably say goodbye. I fully recommend Dodds F. H. to all in need. Thank you again Melissa X 10,000!”

“Dodds-Dumanois offered incredible services to my family this past spring for my sister Tina's passing. Melissa the funeral director and all the members of her staff were absolutely a blessing during such a difficult time for myself, siblings and parents. From the initial phone call, to face-to-face meetings, up until the very end of the process; the kindness and thoroughness of these individuals was above and beyond. In addition to the people, the location is gorgeous; an enormous Victorian era building on a quiet street. Add into the equation that they are one of the most reasonably priced in all of Genesee County. Thank you Melissa and staff, keep up the excellence.”
