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 staff of Sharp Funeral Home is very professional and make every effort to ease the burden of the loved one’s family. Ashley was my first contact and she went out of her way to helping me plan my husband, Bill’s arrangements. She was kind, extremely patient, and compassionate, making the heart-wrenching process easier. Rebecca was very helpful with paperwork issues and made sure I knew she was there if I needed more guidance. Courtney has been helping me navigate resources for as-needed grief counseling and is another layer of their supportive professionalism. I can’t thank them enough.”
