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 family had a sudden death and the whole experience was overwhelming and unexpected. Mr Crouch and everyone at Crouch Funeral Home made this hard time easier by listening to what we specifically wanted, offering guidance, helping us remember important details, and above all else, helping create a beautiful send off and celebration for my brother-in-law. The funeral and graveside service were so smoothly and graciously stewarded and we felt in good hands at all times. We are grateful and feel lucky to have chosen so well. Thank you.”

“I attended a funeral at the Crouch Funeral Home today. This review is from the point of view of someone attending the funeral, not the bereaved family. The funeral home is small, but very nicely decorated. There is both street parking nearby and a parking lot right behind the facility. The service was dignified, the sound system worked perfectly, and the lighting was neither too dark or too bright. Mr. Crouch, the owner, greeted attendees at the door and made the service start reasonably close to the scheduled time without intruding himself into the ceremony any more than is customary in the funeral business. I have known Mr. Crouch for many years. He is a very good person.”
— Henry Farkas
“Mr. Crouch did such a great job. He was very honest about everything. I would very highly recommend this place and can almost guarantee you will be satisfied with his services. I vote this the best funeral home in Cecil County! I will definitely continue business with them.”
— Charlene Hall
