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.

“The passing of a loved one is never easy, but my family and I are deeply grateful for the care we received from Grier Funeral Services. We have entrusted them with our loved ones twice now, and each time the service has been exceptional. The staff is consistently professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. They embraced us with compassion and guided us through every step, ensuring that my mother was cared for with dignity even in death. When Basil arrived to pick up her body, he paused to pray with our family and offered comforting words that meant more than he may ever know. Rev. Brad was patient, attentive, and always available to address my questions and concerns. Their support truly made an incredibly difficult time a little less overwhelming. The Hall family sincerely appreciates the love, care, and support shown to us. Thank you for helping us navigate this moment with grace.”
