Questions to Ask a Funeral Home

Funeral homes may offer different services, facilities, packages, and pricing. Before signing a contract, consider asking:

  • Are you currently licensed by the North Carolina Board of Funeral Service?
  • What burial, cremation, aquamation, or green burial options do you provide?
  • Can you provide an itemized General Price List?
  • Which services are required, and which are optional?
  • Are there additional charges for transportation, permits, death certificates, obituary notices, or weekend services?
  • Do you own and operate your crematory, or is cremation performed by another provider?
  • Can families provide their own casket or urn?
  • Do you accommodate specific religious, cultural, military, or family traditions?
  • Can services be held at a church, cemetery, home, or another location?
  • What payment options are available?
  • How are prepaid funeral arrangements protected?

Understanding Funeral Costs

Under the Federal Trade Commission’s Funeral Rule, consumers have the right to receive pricing information and purchase only the funeral goods and services they want, with limited exceptions required by law.

Review the FTC Funeral Costs and Pricing Checklist for help comparing providers and understanding common funeral expenses.

Request a written, itemized estimate from more than one funeral home when time and circumstances allow. Prices may vary considerably based on transportation, preparation, viewing, ceremonies, merchandise, cremation, burial, cemetery charges, and other services.

Grief Support Is Available

Planning a funeral while grieving can feel overwhelming. Ask a trusted family member or friend to help take notes, make calls, compare prices, and review paperwork. You do not have to make every decision alone.
