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.

“Buffalo Hill Funeral Home recently took care of me and my family with the passing of my mother. I can not say enough positive things about them. From the guys that came and picked her up from her house to Allison that helped our family through the process. You are amazing, caring, and very passionate about the way you do things. Although I want to say I never want to call you again ( not in a negative way), I know that when that day comes you are the only ones I will call in the future.”

“We lost our friend in a drowning accident in Glacier National park. Allison and her team at Buffalo Hills Funeral home stood by us to share our grief, and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your incredible service. Your kindness, support, and dedication truly went above and beyond. Your instant communication helped us stay updated and your efficiency in processing the documents calmed us a lot during the initial days of uncertainty. During such a difficult time, you made everything so much easier for us. Your continued support helped us navigate through all this and we really couldn't have managed without your help. Your compassion and professionalism is deeply appreciated by all of us. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.”
