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.

“When my father passed away last week, the moments that followed were a blur. One of the calls I had to make relatively quick was to a funeral home. We had identified Ryan Funeral Home when my father first moved into his nursing home nine years ago but hadn't given it another thought since then. Needless to say, when I connected with Mary, I was feeling emotional and overwhelmed. But Mary put me and my mother at ease immediately. What I appreciate about Mary the most is that she showed tremendous empathy and kindness while also being thorough and deliberative in supporting our planning. She explained all the various options clearly and guided us as we planned my father's final farewell. It was like having another member of the family. The service itself was perfect. The funeral home is so cozy and welcoming - despite the sad circumstances. She set everything up beautifully, took my later in the day calls and texts with patience and kindness and really made the whole planning and day-of activities go perfectly. If you have to say farewell to a loved one, I highly recommend working with Mary. She is efficient, kind, thoughtful and a real treat to work with - again, despite the horrible circumstances.”

“We have been happy with Ryan Funeral Home. Mary Ryan has been awesome with the funeral arrangements for my father in 2015 and most recently my mother. Both my parents did prearrangement for their funerals. That being said, Mary was sensitive to our needs and was very flexible.”
— Paul Hudson
“Mary did an incredible job with my mother's services. Throughout all the planning and even during the actual service my family felt supported and cared about. Dealing with funerals isn't much fun but everything went smoothly and as painlessly as possible. I'd highly recommend Ryan Funeral home.”
