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.

“I could not have had a better experience with Stroo. My Father passed away a couple of weeks ago in Traverse City. Mike Voss responded immediately and had his team in Traverse City within a few hours. They were incredibly kind, knowledgeable and empathetic. Mike took the time to explain all of our options and made the process as smooth as possible. I am incredibly impressed with the level of service and professionalism of the entire Stroo team! They were an amazing bright spot during a very difficult time for our family!”
