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.

“Planning for a loved one's death is never easy, but Hardage-Giddens Rivermead Funeral Home made it seem easy. Almost 2 years ago when I had to prepare for my mother's passing, the representative walked me through the Planning with ease. Mom passed away last month and the website, the programs, banner and mom's urn were very tasteful and allowed me to concentrate on the memorial which turned out beautifully.”
— Tina Garcia
“Mary and her staff were exceptional throughout the entire process of planning my mother's memorial in Florida from out of state. They listened and guided me through all the details and the end result was a Memorial service that far exceeded our family's expectations with attention paid to every minute detail we shared about her.”
— Lora Morrison
