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.

“Dunbar provided a beautiful service for my wife. They took care of everything from helping the family write an obituary that captured exactly what they wanted to say too ensuring I had all the legal documents I would need in an expeditious manner. What made the quality of the service stand out even more is the fact my wife wanted a small service yet I believe we received the same level of professionalism and compassion we would have done had the event been many times larger. It is not hard to understand why Dunbar has been in business for as many years as they have.”

“Dunbar on Devine is the BEST! We had a complex scenario whereby my mother passed in FL but had to be transported to Columbia. I worked with Kenny to do all of the planning remotely and he coordinated EVERYTHING. Kenny is a true gem- I am a tough customer and had elaborate instructions about flowers, celebration of life w catering, music, graveside Eucharistic service, and on and on. And Kenny did not miss a beat in planning- there is not a detail that was not honored, and I would not have changed a THING about my mother's funeral. Kenny even had scheduled vacation the day of the service, which he let me know about it in advance-, of course and Greg Dunbar and his team quickly jumped in to take the reins and the services were BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT! The directors and the limo drivers and everyone we worked with at Dunbar made this tough time beautiful for our family and my mother. Thanks Kenny, Greg and team- you all will hold a special place in my heart as we gave mom the sendoff worthy of her legacy.”
