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.

“I wanted to take this time to thank Mr. Bradshaw and his staf for assisting my family during our time of need. My father passed away four weeks ago and this was my first time ever making funeral arrangements. I never thought I would making arrangements for anyone let alone for my father. I always thought that my dad would be around for a long time. We miss him so very much. With that, Mr. Bradshaw assisted me every step of the way ensuring that my father's final wishes were met. He listened and stepped in where I fell a little short. Everything came together and I was able rest a little easier knowing Mr. Bradshaw and family were there as support. Mr. Bradshaw, thank you taking such great care of all of my family members whom have passed and to those of us still here.”

“I have had 3 Family members that passed within the last 2 years and I have attended several services provided by Bradshaw and Range. Each and everytime the service has been dignified, professional, and elegant. I know for a fact that they always want the family to have the best memories of the final day of our loved ones. They will carry out the families wishes to the letter and will even tell you if something desired isn't appropriate. But if the family insists then it's on them. I would and will recommend Bradshaw and Range over any other Mortuary Service in this area.”
