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 can't say enough good things about the people at Chatman Harris Funeral Home who helped us when we lost our Cousin. From the moment we made the phone call and talked to Mrs.Quiana Harris, we were treated with the utmost respect. Her kindness and professionalism was above and beyond. Never once did we feel pressured to do anything we didn't want. Her only concern was to help us. I would recommend their team to anyone having to go through end of life arrangements. It's emotionally tough to deal with a sudden death. Chatman Harris Funeral Home made it simple, even effortless in a caring and gentle manner. The online form allowed us to work at our own pace, with plenty of options. Follow-up was almost instant and always kept us informed as to the steps, status and progress. I wish I could say this was painless, but Quiana certainly did her part to ease the pain by handling the arrangements and only asking those questions or decisions necessary. No clutter, no fuss, very smooth and very professional. Just what we needed at the time. The cost was reasonable. I will forever be thankful to everyone we met at Chatman Harris Funeral Home for all the comfort they brought to our family during this hard time. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.”

“Quiana provided exceptional service through the entire process of making preparations for my mother's services to the hands on details of ensuring both the public viewing and funeral honored my mother's life. Chatman-Harris was excellent at anticipating everything our family would need and going above and beyond to answer questions we didn't know to ask and provide services that our family didn't know we needed.”
