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.

“Hello: My name is Crete Gordon-Perry. I recently learned that my ex-husband Robert C. Perry's body was cared for by Chapels of Eden Funeral Home when he passed Oct.3, 2024. Unfortunately I have called four times to ascertain if my ex was buried or cremated. If he was buried, where and if cremated, what happened with his ashes. Each time I called, I was told someone would get back to me. As of March 4th, no call as been returned. This is despicable and unprofessional. Robert C. Perry had four children and they deserve to know what happened to their father. An answer would greatly be appreciated. Respectfully, Crete Gordon-Perry”

“From our 1st call, to after funeral concerns, Alicia and Bobby made us feel like a priority. They showed compassion and professionalism throughout the entire process. Orchestrating a service for my dad from Georgia was not an easy task but it was a lot less stressful with the knowledge and guidance they provided. Even after, we are still receiving accolades from family and friends on how beautiful everything was. Not to mention follow-up from Bobby making sure we are doing okay. Thank you Chapels of Eden!! Job well done!”

“My family and I were faced with an extremely heart breaking loss during the early morning hours on April 30th 2025. My daughter contacted Mr Robert Brown and he quickly responded. He was very compassionate,informative and professional. Mr. Brown kept in close communication throughout the whole process all the way until the day of the service. His whole staff was professional and committed to honoring our wishes and things turned out beautiful inspight of the circumstances, of sending our loved one off to his new journey. I highly recommend Chapel of Eden. Mr. Brown and Alicia I thank you from the bottom of my heart”
