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.
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.

“McDouguald Funeral Services arranged my grandmother, our matriarch, funeral last November, were provided with protection and class. Most fitting for our Queen, we only wanted the best and they provided much more. The McDouguald family and staff were friendly, compassionate, kind, and professional from start to finish. During our family’s time of grief, I can honestly say that the services provided were with sensitivity and ease needed in the difficult processes of understanding the lost and death of a loved one. They definitely took our feelings and emotions seriously and that was very much appreciated. I highly recommend McDouguald Funeral Services, as you showed great respect and care throughout. Our family thanks you for making a true difference during such a difficult time. LaWanda Tate❣️ (Alamogordo, New Mexico)”

“Our family went to mcdougal's to cremate our loved one the funeral director did not inform us that Our loved one had not been cremated until right before the service was to start so we had to have a service without an earn or a body we also was given the wrong obituaries. THEY wanted to give us the correct ones on Monday when the funeral was on Saturday also I paid $500 for 100 obituaries and he only wanted to give me 75 I will never use mcdougal's again never They are the worst funeral home that I've ever seen never have i experienced anything so horrific in my entire life. Please do not use this funeral home located on east 116th they are very unprofessional”
