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 cannot recommend the team at SouthCare in Alpharetta highly enough. During one of the most difficult seasons a family can face, the level of extreme compassion and genuine care we received was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we first connected with them, it was clear that this is not just a business to them—it is a calling. Jeanelle, in particular, is an absolute credit to her profession. Her professionalism is unmatched, but it is her kindness that truly sets her apart. She guided us through every step of the process with a gentle spirit and a steady hand, ensuring that no detail was overlooked while always remaining sensitive to our emotional state. She has a rare ability to handle complex logistics with efficiency while making you feel like your family is her only priority. The service itself was handled with the utmost dignity, but what really stood out was the follow-up. In the days and weeks following, the team continued to check in and offer support, proving that their commitment to families goes far beyond the initial arrangements. If you are looking for a place that treats your loved ones with the highest level of respect and treats your family with true heart, SouthCare is the only choice. Thank you, Jeanelle and the entire Alpharetta staff, for making a devastating time feel a little more bearable.”
