Funeral Invoice Template invoice FAQ

Does the FTC Funeral Rule affect how I invoice?

Yes. The Funeral Rule requires you to give an itemized statement of goods and services after arrangements are made, with prices matching your General Price List. An itemized invoice that lists professional services, merchandise, and cash advances separately satisfies that requirement.

Is sales tax charged on funeral services?

Tangible merchandise like caskets and urns is generally taxable, while professional services are often exempt, but it varies by state. Apply sales tax only to taxable merchandise lines and confirm your state's rules.

What are cash advance items?

Cash advances are amounts you pay to third parties on the family's behalf, such as death certificates, clergy honoraria, flowers, or obituary notices. List them separately because they pass through at cost and are usually not taxed or marked up.

How do families typically pay a funeral invoice?

Common methods include direct payment, assignment of a life-insurance policy, or pre-need funds applied as a credit. Note the balance due after deposits and insurance assignments, and state your accepted payment methods.
