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.

“The staff here are fantastic, truly people who make a tough time more bearable. They were transparent, courteous, compassionate and respectful. They were accommodating and kept me up to date with my mother's pickup, cremation and when she was returned to us. I cannot recommend them highly enough, Mr. Phil truly was a blessing to us when my mother passed. I have no doubt she was treated with dignity and respect. Their compassion and empathy shine through in their work.”
