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.

“My dad passed recently and Billy and his crew went out of their way all the way to Jackson Tn to bring my dad home to have everything taken care of. That alone was honoring my dad. They worked very hard with me even on off days to make sure everything was taken care of. We also used them when my mother passed and everything was very well handled for her as well. My entire family has used Seven Oaks at some point and we will continue to use them. Thank yall for serving my family in such a difficult time”
