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.

“We recently lost our Dad and Newcomer in Erlanger handled everything. The staff at Newcomer is the Best! I can't say enough about everyone in particular Alexys and Paul. These two were our main point of contacts but everyone else on staff that helped were amazing. Guiding us every step of the way. They are not high pressured sales people when you are making decisions during a stressful/ difficult time. Dad's visitation, funeral, and graveside service was an amazing celebration of our Dad's life. Again, I highly recommend Newcomer to anyone that is looking to preplan for their future needs or needing to make immediate arrangements for a loss of a loved one. Diana Niceley”

“Paul and the staff at Newcomer are nothing short of courteous and professional. They accommodated all of our needs; we even had someone perform a live song and Paul made it happen. We could not be happier with their service. We would recommend Newcomer, Paul and his staff to anyone who needs their services during such a difficult time.”

“Y'all! Our experience there was phenomenal! From the first phone call until we picked our mom up this morning everything was amazing. Nick, Andrea, Alexis, and Paul were exceptional. Even the tiny things that me and my sister rambled in preparation for the funeral, Alexis jotted down, and later on would bring us back to that topic… we had completely forgot we even mentioned it. They did not let anything slip away from us. The service was beautiful. The setting was perfect and price was great too! If I could give them 100 stars I would!!! We did my father’s funeral at a high dollar place and newcomer did exceptionally better. My mom, a week after passing her makeup was done so good and oddly enough she kind of looked alive still. Everything was perfect!”
