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 had an exceptional experience with Taylor Funeral Homes. When my dad passed, I was overwhelmed with emotion and decisions, but the moment I connected with Ronald, such a heavy weight was lifted. He guided me through everything with kindness, patience, and professionalism from beginning to end. The accommodations for both the service and the repast were beautifully arranged, clean, and handled with great care. Communication was seamless, which means a lot to me, and their online platform for information and payments was simple and user-friendly. The compassion and support I received from Taylor Funeral Home made such a profound impact on me that it actually inspired me to begin my own journey in mortuary affairs. I’m starting school this January, and I’m truly excited for this next chapter for myself and my family. Thank you, Taylor Funeral Homes, for everything you do. Your care made all the difference.”

“My experience with Ronald Taylor Funeral Home. From day one was very professional. I was very impressed that Mr. Taylor met us in person at home to discuss the funeral arrangements for our loved one. They were always very polite, kind, compassionate and very patient with us and accommodating when it came to submitting required information and items when needed to make arrangements. Even after the funeral arrangements are over they are still available to answer any questions or render services or help we need. I highly recommend Ronald Taylor Funeral Home Service to families in need. Thank you Ms. Foster”
