Questions to Ask When You Call
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.

“When I lost my baby, I was completely heartbroken and didn’t know where to begin. The Janazah Project stepped in and took care of everything with such compassion, respect, and gentleness. From the moment I reached out, they guided me through each step with patience and kindness, making a very painful time a little easier to bear. They treated my baby boy with the utmost dignity and made sure every part of the process was done in accordance with Islamic guidance. I will forever be grateful for how they supported me and my family not just with their service, but with their hearts. May Allah reward them abundantly for the comfort and peace they bring to families during the hardest moments of their lives.”
