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.

They certainly live up to their name, as every step of the way we have felt seen, heard, and respected 100%. The prices for their services are incomparable to any other around middle Tennessee, and it is not at the expense of quality or compassion.

Thank you, Compassion Funeral, for everything you have done and continue to do for my family, as well as my brother, who you have no doubt honored very well. I haven't a single complaint. Forever grateful.”

“Michael and his team are absolutely top-notch. They treat every family with genuine kindness and compassion, making an incredibly difficult time more bearable. Their guidance made it easier for us to make decisions for our loved one, and their expertise and attention to detail provided the peace and comfort we needed. They created a service that truly reflected and honored my mom’s life beautifully. We could not have chosen a better team to care for her. Highly recommend Compassion Funeral Services.”

“Compassion Funeral and Cremation Services went above and beyond for my dad! Michael and Billy were awesome and very supportive of all our requests! We appreciate everything you guys did for me and my family, and ensuring my dad received the best Military tribute and send off we could ask for! Hopefully we won’t need your services again soon, but will definitely be reaching out when the need arises! Thank you so much!!”
