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.

“We simply cannot say enough good things about working with the team at Heritage Weddington Chapel. They did my dad‘s service eight years ago, and helped us this weekend with my mom’s. And of course, we were navigating a winter storm disaster. We never felt rushed, we always felt cared for, and Karen thought of things that we needed before we even knew we needed them. Unconditionally recommend!”
— Phyllis Ferrell
“Absolutely can not say enough good about Karen Reardon and the services that she provided for us at Heritage Funeral Home. Karen took care of everything. She made great recommendations to help us along the way and was patient and understanding. She handled details that were over whelming to us and we truly felt we were being well taken care of through out the entire process. The funeral home itself is beautiful and was a warm and welcoming environment for our family and loved ones.”
— Tangee Bennett
“Karen was fantastic to work with from beginning to end. She was helpful and caring and answered our hundreds of questions! Karen made the whole process less stressful and she helped us find options for what was best for our family and our needs. Would highly recommend her and this funeral home.”
— Amanda Bruce
