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 would like to publicly express my heartfelt gratitude to Leggette Patterson Celebration of Life Funeral Home for the beautiful and meaningful service they provided for my husband. From the very beginning, they made an overwhelming and unfamiliar process so much easier for our family. We did not know what to expect or how everything worked, but they patiently guided us every step of the way. They explained everything clearly, answered all our questions, and made sure we felt supported and at peace with every decision. They were incredibly kind, compassionate, and professional. They were easy to talk to, open to negotiation, and truly willing to work with us. Every request we had was granted with care and understanding. They did not just meet our expectations — they exceeded them. They honored my husband in such a unique and beautiful way that we have never seen before. Even in the middle of our grief, they found a way to bring comfort and even smiles to our family. You can truly see that she loves what she does, and it shows in every single detail. The service truly went beyond our expectations. Our family and friends keep telling us how beautiful and meaningful everything was. If you are looking for someone you can trust during a difficult time, don’t hesitate to choose her. She is highly recommended. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my husband and our family. ❤️”
