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 recently had an incredibly disappointing experience at Jackson Memorial Funeral Home. On February 12, 2026, I was informed by my family to arrive at 2 PM to view my brother’s body. I adjusted my schedule accordingly, only to wait until 3 PM without any communication from the staff. They eventually informed me that I would be called when the body was ready for viewing, which was frustrating and inconsiderate. Later on that day, I received a call indicating that I could see my brother before the funeral that morning (February 13, 2026). I made it to the funeral home, but upon arrival, the staff acted like they were unaware of my visit. Damien mentioned that he had waited for me the day before, showing a clear lack of communication and organization within the team. I felt like they were trying cover something up. What’s done in the dark shall come to the light. This experience was heartbreaking during an already difficult time. It's essential for funeral homes to provide clear communication and compassionate service, especially when families are grieving. Unfortunately, my experience at Jackson Memorial was anything but professional. I would not recommend this establishment based on my experience.”

“It's a blessing to have a place like Jackson Memorial to lean on. My mom passed in Houston, Tx and Damian told us not to worry they will take care of everything and make sure our mom get to Jackson. He did just that! Throughout the entire process he was a true professional. Thank you Damian for being the caring and compassionate person that you are. Lasure and Julia, thank you for ALL the many things you did while preparing our mom for her service. She was so beautiful when you finished with her. Mr. Owens, thank you for the great advice you gave our family concerning the service. Thank you again for the conversations we had while riding in the family car. You were always a joy to be around. I hope I'm not in need of Jackson Memorial services anytime soon, but it's good to know you're there if I am. Thank you all again. God bless!”
