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.

“The staff displayed a caring, comforting and patient disposition. Their instructions to the mourners were giving in a compassionate, non-intrusive, way. The facility was clean, and the temperature was cool and consistent. Their audio/visual equipment is well maintained.”
— Dennis N. Carpenter II
“I cannot say enough about the care we received from Beall Funeral Home, especially from Leah Housley. Leah is truly a gentle, amazing spirit who made the heartbreaking process of sending my brother home as painless as possible. She was incredibly attentive to our needs, deeply understanding, and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and satisfied every step of the way. The facility itself was beautiful and spotless, providing a peaceful space for our family. One moment that touched us deeply was being able to spend time with our loved one and his animal before the service, a memory we will forever cherish. Leah is a gift, and it is clear she is in the career she was meant for. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about Beall Funeral Home or Leah, only gratitude for the compassion and professionalism we experienced during such a difficult time.”

“The folks at Beall went above and beyond in making sure that my family was taken care of during a very difficult time. Every step of the process was thoroughly explained, and they took the time to make sure they understood our needs. They made several accommodations for religious rites and were constantly making efforts to ensure that things ran smoothly. In addition, each and every person I interacted with showed an unbelievable amount of care and respect for our family, and I am incredibly grateful to them for that.”
