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.

“Fantastic Service”
— ACurlyRay
“Billy Curl provided outstanding care to my family after my father’s passing. He has the perfect temperament for a funeral director—calm, steady, and genuinely compassionate. Throughout the entire process, he made us feel reassured and supported at a time when we needed it most. What stood out even more was his honesty. There was absolutely no upselling, no pressure, and no unexpected charges. The final bill matched exactly what we were told from the beginning, which gave us real peace of mind. My family and I are truly grateful that we chose Mitchell Funeral Home. Their integrity and kindness made an incredibly difficult moment a little easier to bear.”
