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 recently had the bittersweet experience of arranging a farewell for my nieces husband, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the compassionate service we received at Ed C. Smith Chapel Funeral Home. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were enveloped in a warm and comforting atmosphere that made an incredibly difficult time just a bit easier. The staff at Ed C. Smith Chapel were truly exceptional. Their professionalism and empathy shone through every step of the process. Our funeral director, Cathy Lechuga, took the time to listen to our family's wishes and helped us create a beautiful service that honored my nieces husband’s life and legacy. She was patient, understanding, and respectful, guiding us through the many options available without any pressure. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of funeral services. Thank you for making our farewell so meaningful and memorable.”

“Five stars is an understatement for the service we received from Hughes Funeral Home. Words can’t express the wonderful service we received from Mr. Ronald Hughes and his staff. We had several changes throughout the process but everything was executed as planned. They allowed immediate family time alone with our nephew before public visitation the day of the viewing and the day of the burial before we made our way to the gravesite. We had no idea what had to be done first/last and with out their help I am sure it would have been a mess but we are forever grateful my nephew received the burial he deserved. Thank you very much Mr. Ronald Hughes and his staff.”
