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.

“Stone Funeral Home, Inc. staff are amazing during the difficult time of saying farewell to loved ones. They are very professional with an added touch of warmth, which really helps during the trying time. The details are important to them, along with making the family feel comfortable and cared for. They walked us through the choices with our father's passing in 2022 and now with our mother's passing in 2025. The staff showed excellent, stellar service in both tough moments!”
