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 understand that the funeral services are great, but you may not wish to buy flowers through their website. I bought an expensive standing spray weeks in advance through their website for a June 17 funeral at the funeral home. Their flower vendor, Flower Dome didn’t deliver the flowers until June 19 . Their explanation was that they are closed and don’t deliver on Saturday. They didn’t hesitate to take the order or my money and neither the funeral home or the florist was even apologetic. ( I do understand the flowers were pretty, just too late)”
