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.

“My spouse & I have always been impressed with Gower's, and the Gower family 's professionalism. Darryl Ann is a wonderful woman who treated us like family when we came to make our final arrangements, so our family won't be burdened with the details. We wouldn't think of going anywhere else.”
— Debra Kennelly
“I cant believe there aren't more reviews. Let me tell you..this place is the best. Twice now Daryl Ann (hope I'm spelling that right) has made our lives easier. She takes care of everything! She thinks of everything. And the small touches like bringing the flowers to the luncheon while we are at the burial...amazing. At a moment when you are mourning, having a sidekick like her is a necessity, and we wouldn't recommend anyone else. The facilities are clean, the staff is professional. But she is your go to. Truly. Cant thank her enough This is her calling, and we are eternally grateful to her for making our lives easier not once but twice ...during times when we couldnt think straight enough to plan a funeral. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for having everything covered!”
— Nicole Romeo
“We can't thank the Gower's enough for their amazing assistance with my mother's arrangements. Caring, detail oriented, fair in price, and really took a lot of weight off.”
— Heather White
