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 traditional Hindu funeral services here and were extremely happy with the whole process that was handled by James and Carolyn. We coordinated the majority of the process remotely, and they were very helpful and communicative throughout the planning. It was also their first Hindu funeral, and despite not knowing what to expect, they were remarkably compassionate and accommodating to our needs. They made us feel like a family and went out of their way to make the funeral process very easy right from the beginning to the very end. We couldn’t recommend this place more! Thank you so much Carolyn and James for all your support.”
