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.
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.

“Playle-Rimer-Millard did an excellent job with the my father's funeral service. Mindy sat down with us and listened to us very intently. Asked great and appropriate questions. She did a great job of being compassionate along with professional. My father received the funeral service that my family and Mindy agreed to. We could not have asked for more during this difficult time.”

“Our Dad,Joe Allen passed away in January 2025. It will soon be a year & the Date of his Death is still missing on his stone. I have been in the office at different times throughout this year asking why this hasn’t been done yet? I was told that there hasn’t been a chance because of weather or it hasn’t arrived yet. I was there today & it still hasn’t been done. Needless to say I’m very disappointed,after all it will be one year next month. His Family would appreciate getting this done! Penny Allen”
