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.
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 have been put off for so long in getting a headstone that has been paid for since January 2024. We cannot even find out where the headstone is coming from so we can at least call and find out what is taking so long. No one in the mortuary can tell you anything except “ oh that man you was working with is no longer here” this is close to ten thousand dollars for the headstone alone.”

“Went to a showing for a friend to show respect and they decided to stop the line because they were 30 minutes behind on the celebration of life. I understand being behind on schedule but there were literally only 10 or so people left in line. Very disappointing.”
— Kelly W.
