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.

“The entire staff were professional, compassionate, and very supportive. They weren't pushy, but offered guidance instead and left all decisions up to our family. We never felt rushed during any step of the process. I would recommend McHoul's absolutely.”

“Informative, accommodating, caring, efficient. My Dad had passed and I had given birth a week or two prior so just leaving the house was a bit of a task. Majority of what was needed was able to be virtually completed which helped everything move smoothly. This was my first time dealing with something like this and they made it easy to trust and rely on them with my father's remains.”
