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.

“Mr and Mrs Cartwright are a blessing. I really don't like working with them! but it is only because I have to say a final goodbye to a very close love one. They never dissappoint. They are very kind, understanding, and there main objective it to provide you with all the tools u need to help you through this difficult time. They recognize the hurt is real and whatever it is u need from them they are there to provide it. They want to provide you with comfort in laying your love one to rest. I highly recommend them. they laid my grandmother to rest and then my dad. they did a superb job. when I say both when laid to rest looked exactly and I mean exactly like themselves. At the end of the day I am so thankful for them. and I pray God continues to bless them. Thank you Mr and Mrs Cartwright.”
