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.

“Everything was rushed. For the people who hasn't been to this funeral home, before they open the doors it is too easy to mistakenly look into the window and see your loved one's body in the coffin inside the room your loved one is in. I saw my loved one's body before I even walked in and that is not okay! Also, I get that my brother had some skin issues considering how he passed but the makeup was orange and terrible! It didn't match my brothers complexion and it looked like no effort was made to even try. If my brothers body was that bad off, why wasn't a closed casket done? It looked nothing like my brother. Which is traumatizing. My mom didn't even think it was him. His body started deteriorating I guess but the makeup was unacceptable. The makeup added onto that and somehow I feel like he was unrecognizable because of the makeup, nothing to do with what happened to him itself.”
