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.

“At a most unfortunate time we were extremely fortunate to be introduced to Ben & Kevin at Luddy & Peterson. Being a businessman myself I truly appreciate two things from those I deal with, honesty and good communication. Luddy & Peterson demonstrated both with the exemplary service they provided to our family in treating our deceased dad and us with dignity and respect. No one ever wants to make a call to a Funeral Home but when the time comes, as it will for us all, we can say with certainty you can do so with confidence when you call Ben.”

“We had the best experience working with Lauren when my Mom passed away. She came to the house within hours of us calling her, was well prepared with all the proper paperwork, explained everything in detail, all our requests as far as how my Mom was prepared before being cremated were met, she was very compassionate and helpful. She also came to the house to deliver the cremains and had all the paperwork for everything that needed to be done after. Their prices were the best we found. I would highly recommend them.”

“I can’t say enough about how thoughtful and professional Brianna has been. I live in FL and my mom in CT. Brianna was a huge help and comfort with making sure everything was being handled she was well spoken, and informed me every step of the way. She was thoughtful and knowledgeable, if she didn’t have the answer she would let me know she needed to get back to me to be sure. I appreciated her level of commitment to customer service. The last thing anyone needs at a time of loss is someone who doesn’t have her professional,compassionate and thoughtful disposition . Keep up the good work!”
