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.

“Stacey @ JW Reynolds was incredible to deal with. Start to finish, she made this process easier than it should have been. If you need a monument that exceeds expectations, give her a call. I am 3 states away and she made me feel like she was an old family friend. I was nervous about the final product(purchasing sight-unseen) but everyone in my family loves this tribute to a loved one gone too soon. It perfectly portrays Kyle and all he loved. Thank You Stacey and JW Reynolds.”

“I cannot say enough how helpful Stacy was with creating a headstone for my late Father. JW Reynolds created a beautiful headstone for my late Uncle a few years earlier and I knew we had to go there. With him passing away unexpectedly, we weren't prepared and Stacy made us feel so at ease and we knew could trust her with our vision and budget. My sister and I live out of town and she worked with us to do zoom calls and review everything to make sure we were confident in the final look. It's not something you want to have to do, but if I'm in this situation again, JW Reynolds is the only place I'll be calling.”

“Our daughter, our beautiful angel baby is forever16. Not in a million years us as 4 parents thought we would have had to be in this situation picking a headstone or where to even start. We just knew we wanted the absolute best for our babygirl. Its been very hard on us all. We went to J.W Reynolds Monument and talked to Stacey. Let me just say.. she has shown so much care for our families, She listened to what we told her about babygirl, she wanted to know all about our beautiful daughter Natalee, asked questions, helped with ideas, very sincere. We told her what Natalee liked and she help 100% make it absolutely beautiful in honor of Natalee Hicks. We all miss her so much and this right here that Stacey did for us and the yearbook signing on the back means so much to us. Babygirl would love it too! Thank you so much Stacey!! ❤️”
