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.

“I love this family and so did my mother. Carlos and his team was truly a blessing during my time of bereavement! May the Lord continue to bless you.”

“Date of service 12 Sept 2021 The Jones family first impression began when they were able come to my home in within 60 minutes or less. The empathy from his son upon arrival filled the room as he gave my mother tender hearted care from the bed into the hearse. Working along side Carlos was an experience everyone should have when a loved one transitions. He was very empathetic and was avaliable at all times. His attention to detail and his ability to enhance our vision and more was exceptional. The facial makeup on my mom was flawless in addition to her regalia. The entire process was seamless and transparent from the time my mom's body was picked up until the time she was laid to rest. Thank you Carlos for holding our hand through our darkness hour. I highly recommend Jones Funeral home for all your funeral services. Josie Riddle Brookins”

But, Mr. Jones puts your mind at ease and helped me every step of the way with my Father’s service. It’s so many more things I can say but, I will keep it short. I just thank Mr.Jones and his staff for everything”
