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.

“Thank you to Clausers funeral home for the great help they gave us during the time of our mother’s death. Matt Burg was right there to help in any way he could.”
— Sharon Martin
“Our father passed away on March 22 and we were unable to have a regular funeral and burial service due to COVID-19. Al at Clauser's helped us navigate this uncharted territory. He was kind, caring, and understanding throughout the process. We had a private burial, with everyone practicing social distancing. It is never an easy time, but with the added restrictions and inability for us to be together as a family, it was especially comforting to know we were in good hands. Al was patient and walked us through each step of the way and gave us all the information we needed. We were so thankful for everything he did to help us have a dignified burial that honored and reflected our father. We plan to have a private memorial service at a later date and Clauser Funeral Home will be assisting us. We highly recommend using Clauser's.”
