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.

“We could not have picked a better person to care for our sweet boy. We could not shake the terrible image from our mind and were nervous our baby wouldn't look like our baby. Max handled him with the kind of care you'd give your own family member! We were given so much peace and comfort seeing our baby look like himself. Max took it a step further and let our birdy loving baby sit and listen to the birds before it was his time to go. Absolutely recommend him to anyone who is struggling with the idea of someone else handling their loved ones.”

“Max was so compassionate and caring during our time of grief. He handled everything with ease and kindness. I’ll forever be grateful to Max and his team for caring for our sweet little boy. He helped navigate the process making it easier for everyone.”

“Max and his team took care of arrangements for my sweet baby boy. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was very personable- and not just another “job”. Max spent hours helping us figure out the technology to transfer a great deal of photos. He also statues yo very late to help us get everything in order. 10/10 recommend these guys to everyone who is going through this process.”
