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 met with the funeral Director ( Rev. Alston) just about two years ago concerning my mother's final needs. He explained everything that I would need from start to finish. He kept in touch and did everything he said he would. When my mother passed away, all I did was make the telephone call and they took care of me and my family. He was kind enough to do the same with my sister. I'm so happy that I went to meet with him prior to my mother's passing. The entire presentation from the funeral home to the church service was professional. My mother was beautiful for her final viewing.”
