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 they came to pick up my Dad they had only one person so I had to help carry my father who just died 2 hours earlier out of the home and shocked that there was another body in the vehicle they used to pick up my father. Felt like they treated him like a side of beef. When I called the following day they expressed that is just normal operating procedures normally they would pack 4 people at a time. pretty disturbed 7/18/2025”

“In your greatest time of need they are there to help. They are kind, understanding and very professional. In our case we needed my mother sent to NC and they took care of all the details. Because we had gathered information months prior we discovered they are the most reasonable in the area. There is a lot to learn about the funeral business. Most funeral homes are now corporate owned and when you speak with one you are also speaking with the other ones in the area. They are owned by the same company and have same extremely high prices. New Horizons is family owned and you deal with the owners.”
