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.

“Nobody ever wants to make this type of arrangement, but if you find you have to, I highly recommend Richmond Cremation. They couldn't have made it any easier, as everything can be accomplished online. I also found the staff extremely caring and compassionate; they even called me immediately prior to my brother's cremation to let me know that it would be beginning, as I chose not to view it. Services are affordably priced too.”
— Rebecca Lassiter
“I found Richmond Cremation to be extremely helpful, sensitive to my situation, and professional. Also, they did not try to sell me more services than I wanted, which I very much appreciated. The cost was very reasonable, too.”
— Linda Keener
“Chuck was very helpful and explained the pre-preparation details very succinctly and simply. I highly recommend Richmond Cremation as I feel that I have carefully decided to use them upon my passing. I have recommended them to my friends.”
— Jackie Strebel
