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.

“Using PartingPro has allowed us to support more families who don’t live nearby, or live out of state, so distance is no longer a threshold. Even for local families, we have found many families prefer to make all of their arrangements online as opposed to having to come in person. Our overall case volume has gone up and and the number of google reviews has greatly increased. You can tell when when we started using you guys from all the reviews we have gotten. It's awesome!”

“I first learned about Parting Pro at a CANA convention in 2019 after working tirelessly to make our website more user friendly. While we had digital forms and an online selection process, it was a constant work-in-progress that never really felt 'right'. Parting Pro helped us take our online abilities to the next level. Finally, we had a system that worked well and that our clients could easily navigate. I've personally enjoyed seeing Parting Pro's growth as well; they're regularly making improvements and adding new features to their service. What has always mattered most to me is the client experience and I feel confident in saying that we're able to serve our families very well no matter where in the world they might be located."”

“I regret not joining Parting Pro earlier. I felt like I had too much on my plate at the time I initially met with them, and couldn't add another thing to it. If I had realized what an easy process it would be, I would have jumped feet first on day one. From the beginning of the process until today, their entire team has gone out of their way to ensure our success. They have helped me not only keep my current shopper calls, but even gain more I would have never received. Parting pro is the entire package, they have a great user-friendly system, and an amazing staff to help you along your journey. I'm so thankful for Caroline for following up with me and not giving up on my busy schedule. Parting Pro is changing my business for the better and I'm more excited for the future than ever.”
