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.

“Coble also owns two beautiful cemeteries: Greenlawn Memorial Park, located right next door, and Oleander Memorial Gardens, situated off of Bradley Drive just behind the Wilmington Arboretum. Oleander Memorial Gardens features exquisite landscaping, including new cremation Gardens, and has magnificent live oak trees and a serene lake. The funeral home houses both the staff and business office under one roof, enhancing convenience. While convenience is generally appreciated, it becomes crucial during times of loss, as many matters are time-sensative. You have the option to prearranged services, allowing your family to appreciate the same convenience while fulfilling your wishes. The staff is incredibly welcoming, creating a family atmosphere that you feel a part of the moment you make a call or step through the door.”

“Going thru this process was very emotional for myself and my family, lost my Princess after 38 years and couldn’t have picked a better place to prepare my Wife for the journey. Julie was amazing, comforting, compassionate and most important calm. I was an emotional wreck, I needed direction without compromise and Jules delivered. I called several places before making this life changing choice, I knew from it from the phone call with Jules this was it. There is no competition around to match COBLE FUNERAl HOME’s dedication to their customers, I left there feeling like family. The wrong decision you might make now will affect you and your family for life, make the right one call COBLE and let them help you thru this life changing experience.”

“My 96-year-old father recently passed away, and we chose Coble Funeral Home because they honored a cremation contract he had arranged decades ago in Florida. When Dad moved here about six years ago, I carefully researched local funeral homes to find one that would respect a third-party contract, and I’m so grateful we chose Coble. Jim, Julie, and the entire staff were exceptionally professional, compassionate, and never once pushy or “sales-driven.” Their empathy and attention to detail made a difficult time more manageable. The two gentlemen who came to pick up my father were also incredibly kind and respectful, which meant a great deal to us. Because of this experience, my wife and I are thankful we prearranged our own wishes with Coble for the future. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Coble, for the care and dignity you provided our family.”
