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.

“We had a family member unexpectedly pass. Tony was so patient helping us look up information and filled out all the forms on his computer. The price was the most reasonable in town and Rosie was so helpful with getting us an appointment and quoting us over the phone quickly. They even filed the paperwork with the VA and got us a flag even though we couldn’t find the discharge papers ourselves. They made this hard process very easy and I highly recommend them.”

“I made arrangements to days before the death of my father-in-law upon his death they did not answer the telephone and it's going on 5 hours and there's supposed to be a 24-hour company absolutely horrible would never go through them again and I am going to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau because I am completely disgusted with the way they do business and treat people”
