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.
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 DO NOT recommend this funeral home. During my mother's funeral, they provided a different and smaller room than what was requested and paid for. The smaller room was unable to accommodate the crowd. Limousine service to the graveyard was purchased. The funeral director was instructed, multiple times, that three people were to ride in the limo: father, son, and grandmother. These were also the same three individuals that were the last to leave the building as they shake hands and greet everyone on the way out. Nobody else was to ride in the limo. After the funeral service when the three individuals were to enter the limo, it was full of other family members. The funeral director did not attempt to politely ask them to exit the limo. Father, son and grandmother, were forced to drive their own car, behind the limo to the graveyard. The funeral director should have gotten involved when this was brought to his attention. The makeup on the body did not look professional or natural. It was too heavy. The skin was whitened up to an extreme level and there was too much rouge applied. She looked like a circus clown with a white face and red dots on the cheeks. I will note that I have been to several funerals at this location and have typically been unimpressed with their makeup skills. However, my mother was at the extreme end of poor quality. The outdoor portion for the graveside service did not take place anywhere near the graveside. It took place at the other end of the cemetery. When confronted about the location of the chairs, the funeral director initially claimed that the ground by the plot was too wet. My father drove to the actual plot and inspected the ground and it was dry. When confronted a second time the funeral director then admitted that a previous funeral took place earlier that week and he did not want to pay a crew to pack up and move the chairs since it was at the same cemetery and this particular cemetery is about as far as they travel within their radius. The funeral director was unprofessional and made false promises and statements. Due to the level of service provided by the funeral director, I would rather hire someone else. This funeral took place several years ago. I am writing the review now, because it still upsets me how poorly this funeral was run. I waited several years to write this review to ensure that no emotion would cloud the accuracy of the review.”

“George needs to be fired. Mind you Kieth, Bill, and Travis were wonderful. Service went fine, but when I went to the office to ask how I could help close the service and clear the room out, George, while stupidly thumbing through his phone with a bulging lazy eye, made a passive aggressive comment about how I shouldnt forget he has a family too. What kind of loser works at a funeral home, much less is present and within hearing distance of a grieving family and has the gall to be an absolute man child? Who lets this man run services? I pray he's not in management or ownership of the place. It's rather unfortunate that this happened, because otherwise the other staff members were wonderful.”

“The staff, especially director Virgina, were extremely helpful, compassionate, and easy to talk to. She made the process easy for us, not to mention she understood my humor and I felt like she was family. If you are looking for a funeral home for yourself or loved ones, rest assured, Kerr Brothers will make it easy.”
