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.

“I can't thank Jim enough for his compassion, patience and guidance. From the the planning process to the day of the memorial service he was always there for us. Jim, Rhea and the staff treated our family with the upmost professionalism and dignity. I would highly recommend these good people. Tim Beal”

“Rhea made the whole process of my dad’s funeral so easy and stress free for me. Not only did she take care of everything she made sure I knew everything I had to do for after and where to go for all of it. The funeral was beautiful and the attention to detail she put into it was amazing. Rhea has such compassion for what she does and how she interacts with people. If you are looking for a funeral home look no further cause you and your loved one will be in good hands with her.”
— Amanda Rhodes
“They were excellent! They help us through a horrible situation with care and professionalism. They had our back. They made everything as simple as possible and explained everything. Our family is very happy we met this incredible person Jim Stein. We hope we don’t need your services any time soon but would use you if we did.”
