Paper Check

Hold the paper the funeral home gave you, and tick what you can see on it. The check lists anything the Funeral Rule requires that is not there, with a plain question to ask.

On the General Price List, can you see:

You should receive this list, to keep, as soon as you start talking about prices or arrangements in person (16 CFR 453.2(b)(4)(i)). If the funeral home does not offer an item at all (for example, no direct cremations), tick it too: the Rule asks for prices of items "if offered for sale".

Paper Check is free for everyone, always.
