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.

“Ordered over phone a small replacement roller. Was told the total was $27.50 so I gave them my card number and paid. No invoice was sent so I looked at my bank statement and the total charge showed $57.37. I then emailed requesting the invoice and seen they put a freight charge of $29.87. I would’ve never ordered for that price plus the roller came had a missing spring. I emailed back asking about the freight charge and still no response. Please be careful. Never left a bad review but as a young new small business owner every dollar counts.”
