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 want to sincerely thank Persons & Taylor Pearly Gates Funeral Home for the outstanding service they provided for my brother, Nathaniel Jackson. From the moment they arrived to bring him into their care, they treated him, and our entire family, with the utmost respect, compassion, and professionalism. Every step of the process was handled smoothly and thoughtfully. The staff was patient, kind, and attentive, making us feel supported during this incredibly difficult time. One of the highlights was the beautifully written obituary. It was professional, heartfelt, and truly reflected who Nathaniel was. It meant so much to us to see his life honored so well in words. The final escort home was handled with such dignity moving and powerful farewell. We are truly grateful to the entire team for going above and beyond. Their care and service brought us comfort, and we will never forget their kindness.”
