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.

“From the moment we contacted Anniston Memorial Gardens to care for our loved one after they had passed, we have felt nothing but supported, understood, and cared for. We were kindly greeted and given the time to explore our options during this difficult time by Cassie. Cassie exceeded our expectations with her kind & gentle nature. Throughout a few changes, both Cassie and Bailey were extremely supportive and understanding, making this challenging process much easier to navigate. A special thank you to the gentleman who handled the transport of our loved one; we deeply appreciate his respectful care. We would absolutely recommend Anniston Memorial Gardens for your funeral and burial needs.”

“I can’t begin to tell you what Mark, Holly and everyone at Anniston Memorial Funeral Home did for our family during the most difficult time. The words said to me, “We will hold your hand through this,” were completely true. From the moment my mom passed away and Jason came to our home to pick up my precious mom, even staying longer so that my brother and uncle could make it home to see her, our experience was comforting and peaceful. Our hearts were broken and our family was surrounded by compassion, grace, kindness, and patience. I had no idea about the planning and Holly met with us and my overwhelming anxiousness disappeared. My mom looked beautiful for her funeral, and my heart needed to see her peaceful and whole again. I was so happy with everything and I know my mom had the funeral she deserved. Her friends and family were able to come show their respect and see her again, helping heal hearts. At a time when everything is overwhelming, trust this phenomenal family owned funeral home to meet all your needs. Thank you to everyone at Anniston Memorial! I’m forever grateful for each one of you and the blessing of what you do daily to help others during heartbreaking times.”

“No one in our family wanted to discuss the inevitable. Making plans was too depressing. But, I was determined that I wanted my grieving time to be absent of busy work (funeral arrangements). So, when it came time, we were focused on our family. I was terrified to look at all of the options out there. I made an appointment. Immediately, I had someone to trust. I was able to make those decisions with peace of mind. And that day came. EVERYTHING was taken care of... it was like your best friend said,"I got you". I cannot say enough kind words to match the experience we had here.”
