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 were extremely pleased with the services provided. The team went above and beyond to accommodate our needs on short notice. From our initial meeting to the arrangements at the cemetery, they were consistently courteous and professional. They made what could have been a very stressful process feel seamless and manageable. We highly recommend their services.”

“The staff at AFH made everything go very smoothly for my brother's funeral. Mason's experience caused him to guide me through unexpected details. The staff assured me that all would be fine even when I panicked over details that I thought might be overlooked, but they were not...all was in order. It is overwhelming to lose someone and this staff was very comforting through every detail. And, I must give very high praises for the facility. Very well kept up, and very clean.”
— Ann Macey
“Mason and his staff were nothing short of spectacular. They were able to accommodate all of our wishes and went beyond the call of duty to ensure our memorial service for our family member was truly memorable. Mason's kindness, willingness to listen and help, offering suggestions and then following through without being prompted was outstanding. His compassion and understanding, sorting out all the details made you feel as if he was part of our family. He was genuinely concerned. What a wonderful experience he and his associates prepared for our family. A true testament to his work not only for our family but for the community as well. The Pieciak Family”
