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 have used Churchland Village Flower shop for years and have always had great flowers and service. However the last order there was a problem with the order. No big deal things happen. So I called to let them know what had happened. They went above and beyond to correct the issues! People need to remember that when dealing with a business there is always a possible for issues. However what makes a business exceptional is what they do to correct those issues. Great job by the team at Churchland Village Flower Shop. Thanks for going that extra mile!”

“They are wonderful! I’ve ordered from them for my Mom. It’s been over 20 years now and they never disappoint. Flowers are always fresh and the arrangements are always full. Call them directly and keep the middle guy out. 6/7/21 This florist is the absolute best in town. They've made floral arrangements for my Mother for decades. They have never disappointed us. Well Mom passed away last February from cancer. I have Mom her flowers while she was living because she loved fresh flowers. Purple, yellow and white babies breath. We finally got Moms installed on her mausoleum wall. And this florist is still doing beautiful arrangements (although silk) for our Mother (Mildred Bazemore)💜🙏🏽 Thank you”
