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.

“One is never really ready to plan for the loss of ones son.. But Mr., and Mrs. Dunkum, truly went above and beyond to help us. Not just with planning, but with the one on one care, checking in with us, as well as even bringing us food. They became family and you could genuinely feel their compassion, and care. I honestly could not say enough about how great they have been with us.. I would highly recommend Dunkum Funeral Home to anyone looking for a more family friendly place to have their beloved taken care of...”
