Questions to Ask When You Call
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.

“I just recently had a service here for my mother, and I will say that they did a good job. my friends also said that it was a good service. For this to be my first time experiencing something like this. I had a lot of questions. And they were not getting frustrated with me, which I greatly appreciate. They were willing to answer all of my questions and work with me. A month after the service, they even reached out to me to ask me if I was doing OK and that is something that I really appreciate . Despite the circumstances, I would say I had a good experience .”
