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.

“September 17, 2021 Jonathan Goslee my son died , he was epileptic. I was in GA. At the time. After my ex wife refused to call me on the 13th when he was found unresponsive. Plis funeral home continued with her wishes to keep me from my son . I met with Jonathan's godfather and told him they could have there service. Jonathan was an intervert, he didn't want a service. Stayed in the obit . It was invite only . Not one person at that service was involved in any of his health care . For 11 years I took care of him , keep him alive . 4 months into my sobriety he died . Left alone . Well, Plis needed my signature, so they said ? My relationship with my son was disregarded, disrespected by Plis, my ex wife, his godfather. Judge Pavon called her actions despicable. All involved are in my opinion.”

“Jamie Plis who runs the Marcellus office was wonderful to work with when planning my mother-in-law's funeral. He was knowledgeable, compassionate, and very accommodating. Price was reasonable as far as funerals go too. I would recommend pre-planning as I did because it makes it so much easier.”
— Cynthia McAllister
