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.

“Rose Hill did a wonderful job helping our family through a difficult time. They were organized, understanding, and took care of everything with professionalism and care. We’re grateful for how smoothly everything went and for the kindness they showed to our family.”
— Justin Cruthers
“Back when Rose Hill was first founded and constructed it was a grand cemetery, I’m so glad to see the new management is moving in the right direction. There were a couple years back it was privately owned. I’m not gonna mention any names, but the money was not being spent properly and or held properly. My mother had to go up and actually cut the grass around her mother, her father and her brother’s plots. Personally, I would love to see the construction of a mausoleum or two. I was a part of a group and my grandfather was a veteran. Honoring them as we should we placed flags at their plots on Veterans Day. I would like to personally thank, Blair Candy Family, I knew he was the owner despite his humbleness, but I personally worked sections with him, placing the flags, and I could see his love and respect he shared with myself for that cemetery. He worked very hard alongside us. I believe his son was there too. But don’t quote me on that. Now this is for whomever is taking care of Rose Hill Cemetery, first off great work, I can see it’s waking back up from a long slumber at it’s inception it was the choice place to lay to rest your loved ones. Please feel free to leave me a comment and or an idea.I would be more than willing and honored to help with developing a fundraiser for possibly mausoleum construction and or to help with locating government grants, historical grants to ultimately return this beautiful place that we visit our loved ones back to it glory.”
