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.

“My father-in-law passed away and Serenity Funeral and Cremation came highly recommended from the sheriffs department, (My father-in-law was a retired LA County Sheriff Captain), and Daniel was not only incredibly professional, he was kind, compassionate, and truly showed respect to my father-in-law. Death is HARD, there is no way around it. But having someone to help honor your loved one, to take care of them in the way you can only pray for, that is priceless. Daniel was communicative and helped to ensure all of our plans ran smoothly. We are so thankful for the kindness shown and the love given to us in this difficult time.”
