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.

“My dad's funeral was held at Johnson and Brown. I could not be more pleased with the overall experience. Kelli and the employees at Johnson and Brown exceeded all expectations. It felt like family was taking care of my dad. If you have ever lost a parent or loved one, you know how important that is. I highly recommend Johnson and Brown for your funeral needs. From beginning to end, they were top notch. Thank you Johnson and Brown.”

“I just attended the funeral of a dear friend that Johnson and Brown Funeral Home directed. The level of professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail was unparalleled. Kelli and Joe made sure the family’s wishes were honored. They even had the foresight to bring ice cold water bottles for the family and friends that attended the graveside service in the middle of a heat wave. I cannot recommend them enough!”
— Carly Miller
