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.

“R.T. Foard & Jones helped me beautifully send off my father. I couldn't have imagined a better experience from a funeral home. The owner, Bob and his daughters were thorough, compassionate, respectful and proactive to my and our family's needs during this time and it made a huge positive difference in our grieving process than if we were to give our business to anyone else. Keep up the great work, everyone. Much love and respect to all involved in helping make his services memorable and wonderful.”

“My family has received the best care anyone could ask for. They go the extra mile to do special personal care. They are very professional but make you feel part of their family. Compassion, empathy and sympathy are foremost. Their services were excellent and want everything to be exactly the way you want it to be. They took care of so many things. Even after the memorial service is done, they followed up with us calling to see how we were doing and offering grief materials and sent a beautiful card. R. T. FOARD IS THE BEST!”
