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.

“When my Aunt died unexpectedly, I was devastated and had no idea what to do. Cremation, burial, autopsies.. it was all so overwhelming. Plus I live in a different part of Alaska now so everything had to be done over the phone/computer. Mr Elder at Peninsula Memorial Chapel was professional, kind, and patiently answered all of my questions. I'm eternally grateful to Peninsula Memorial Chapel for everything they've done for us. Thank you.”

“They guided us thoughtfully and carefully through the process of my father's unexpected death. We were in Washington state so many arrangements required assistance. Grant and crew made a difficult experience much less difficult.”
— Jason Knott
“Understandably any funeral business will get complaints because people are going through an emotional time. Truth is these people at the chapel go out of their way to help families in every way they can. Many things not included on the bill. They are simply there for you when it’s overwhelming. Respectful when others are not to them. Continue to follow through and provide the services you and yours need when your loved one has passed. No matter what time of day or night. I think what people mean to say is.....THANK YOU.”
