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.

“What an absolute group of professionals, and world class service, communication in one of the most difficult times in someone’s life. Having to put a loved one to rest is not an easy thing, nor a walk in the park. They treated my grandfather with care, respect, and as if he were one of their family members. Thank you for a wonderful service, and making a hard day better with your hospitality. 🙏”

“Kedz funeral home Was absolutely phenomenal with the recent passing of my father in law. Jim Rogers, the owner, Took care of everything, gave us suggestions, and guided us through the whole process to where we didn’t have to worry about anything. And believe me that was a big load of our shoulders. Everyone there was so courteous, kind, thoughtful of our feelings and our situation. This was not the first funeral that we’ve had at Kedz. We had two others, my mother and my mother-in-law in 2016. They were just as wonderful then as they are now. I can’t recommend them highly enough. We have since recommended them to anyone when in need of a funeral home. They will not be disappointed. And to everyone of Kedz, “Thank you” We appreciate everything that you all do for anyone that walks in the front door.”

“Kedz funeral home was phenomenal in taking care of our family during our mothers passing. I have no words to explain how caring and loving the owners and director were during our mothers services and funeral. First and foremost, their transparency with prices in their website attracted us to their funeral home. My family was able to discuss everything at home prior to the initial meeting with director. Because of their website we had an idea of everything that we wanted during the funeral and also allowed us to make these tough decisions in private. Kerri, our director, was very loving and caring, she truly made such a difference in helping us plan our mothers service in detail. She was patient, comforting and wonderful. Jim Roger’s and his wife were helpful and attentive with everything we needed until the very end. The funeral home has just been remodeled and it looks beautiful. All of their services and attentions were wonderful. We were very fortunate to have our mothers funeral at Kedz.”
