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.

“My father is Antdewan Jones, who passed September 20th after a medical emergency. His mother decided to have everyone against Me, my mother and my brother who is 11. Im 14 years old, and this funeral home was against us. Trying to tell us we werent his true family, having additudes, and telling me and my brother to get away from our father. Then had a "Pastor" who continued to talk about himself the ENTIRE time. Then of course, closed the casket infront of everyone, making it worse. Also chose to claim we had a time limit, so I could not speak my truth when I did my speech. This funeral home is awful. Long live my father.”

“I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Chapel of the Chimes Funeral Home for the exceptional care and professionalism they showed during one of the most difficult times in my life. The entire staff treated us with compassion, respect, and grace. They were incredibly attentive to every detail, making sure that my mother’s wishes—and our family’s—were honored with dignity. Their guidance made the entire process much easier to bear, and we never felt rushed or overwhelmed. The facility itself is serene and beautiful, it created a peaceful setting for my family and friends to gather and remember my Mom Dorothy Montgomery- Parker.❤️ I especially appreciated how patient and kind Mr. McClary was in answering our questions and walking us through each step. I know my aunt asked A lot of questions. Their support allowed us to focus on celebrating my mother’s life instead of stressing over logistics. If you are looking for a caring, professional team to help you through a loss, I highly recommend Chapel of the Chimes. Their compassion and dedication truly made a difference for our family.”
