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.

“I started looking for a funeral home to set up a cremation only package for my father. He is in a care center currently and not doing to well. I called the 3 funeral homes in Slidell and discussed pricing with all 3 and for this package. One was $3600, one was$2490 and Doyle's was $1825, It is amazing to me that literally the same service is double at one of the funeral homes. I went today and met with Ms.Gwen, the founders daughter and set up the cremation. She was very warm, understanding and helpful in my decision. I highly recommend Doyle's for their services as they are very professional with a caring touch.”
