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.

“Great place nice people they did an awesome job on my mom. It was the first time I’ve seen that the person looked like themselves instead of just a rush job like most do. Would highly recommend them to anyone in such a sad time. Also, their hearse is awesome a very beautiful car. I’d give more stars if it was possible. Thank y’all for the wonderful attention y’all put into one of the saddest days of my family’s lives.”

“Very professional and beautiful! I’ve never seen a loved one or any other passing that looked so beautiful and natural. I do wonder if they can do the same for the living 🤔. I sure could use it😂. Please let me know. All silliness aside, I highly recommend and thank them for all they have done for my mother in law, my daughter’s grandmother, my husband’s mother. She was the best gift God gave me after loosing my own so soon. She was truly a woman of God! I am VERY curious though on why did they not drop her in the funeral into the grave and do the burial while we were there. They were waiting and waiting for everyone to leave. Most funerals I’ve been to (and I’m unfortunately a frequent flier and have seen some disturbing things of funeral homes from reusing caskets 👀.. to trying to burn multiple bodies at once, not burning the body at all and sending concrete. I hope this isnt the case in this instant and there is a thorough Explanation for it.”
