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 were very satisfied with the service provided by Byrd and Flanigan in the recent passing of my sister. Pickup of the body was very timely and everyone we dealt with were courteous and thoughtful. Different options were explained in detail by Keenan Byrd under no pressure when we met with him in advance of the death. My wife and I have our final plans with this funeral home and I am happy this is the one we chose.”

“My Mom was on hospice and was researching funeral homes. She had sent for paperwork and they sent it promptly. My Mom passed suddenly and I actually contacted Byrd and Flanigan 2 days before my Mom passed. They could not have been more accommodating! She passed early Sunday morning and they came to pick her up within hours. I couldn't believe the wonderful services they provided. All of them were very kind but Keenan was who we met with and he was so very compassionate. I highly recommend them. They make a difficult time bearable. Thank you!”

“My Grandma passed suddenly on July 1st, and we needed to find a funeral home quick. We called many places, but decided on Byrd & Flanigan. When I arrived today for Grandmas service I was impressed as soon as walked in, very clean and plenty of seating is provided through out the building. I walked into where my Grandma was and it was beautiful with flowers ordered by family and again plenty of seating. My Grandma looked beautiful, and I appreciated the music they played while we sat with her during the viewing. The owners where very kind and made all of us feel comfortable. Having the type of service they provided has made this difficult time so much easier. I cannot thank them enough for all they did and for taking care of my Grandma.”
