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.

“Our family recently suffered a tragic loss. Seale’s Funeral Home assigned Shana Bryant to handle the services for our family. She was absolutely amazing at her job. It was evident that her work is her passion. We have great respect for this talented and compassionate lady.”
— Reba Riddle
“Shanna did a wonderful job from start to finish! I never felt rushed to make any quick decisions and she answered every question I had a long the way. Very thankful for her.”
— Jesse Smitherman
“I was very thankful for the guidance given to my family and I after the sudden passing of my husband. Shanna, our funeral director, went above and beyond to help us plan a service that would honor a life well lived. From the moment I spoke with Shanna on the day my husband passed away, I knew we were going to be taken care of. Shanna pays attention to the details. She took her time to answer all of the questions we had. She went in on a holiday to plan the funeral for us. She called during the week to check on us and make sure that we were ok for the service. She met us at the door of the church the morning of the service and walked us up to the casket and was willing to give us as much time as we needed before letting others in the church. She asked if she could take photos of of the service (not of my husband's body, just the service) and I was so glad she did. These pictures are precious to me now. I am thankful for Seale, and that they have such a special funeral planner working for them. She checked on us even after the service and once the cremation was done. Her gift is being used greatly within this funeral home. I can't thank her enough for the attention to detail that she gives grieving families. From a grieving widow, Jancie Corie”
