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.

“Losing my mother unexpectedly on October 18, 2025, was one of the most devastating experiences of my life. My entire family was heartbroken and in shock. She passed away in Georgia while visiting her sisters, and I wanted to bring her home to South Carolina to lay her to rest. I chose F.B. Pratt Funeral Home in Newberry, SC, where I live, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the care, compassion, and professionalism shown by Mr. Wayne Pratt and his entire team. From the very beginning, they made an extremely difficult process feel manageable. They explained everything clearly, guided us with patience and understanding, and handled every detail with dignity and respect. Mr. Pratt personally ensured that my mother’s body was transported back to South Carolina swiftly and smoothly. Throughout every step, they showed empathy, compassion, and genuine concern for our family’s well-being. Planning a funeral—especially for the first time—is overwhelming and emotional, but their kindness and support made all the difference. I will forever be thankful for F.B. Pratt Funeral Home.
