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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Thank you Mr. Hill, Mr. Miller II, Ms. Thelma and your entire team for the outstanding service that we received for our dearly departed mother. We remain very pleased with every dynamic of the process. Owing to your compassion, professionalism, and efficiency you far exceeded our expectations. We especially appreciate the precision and extra care that you took to make certain that our mother’s wishes were carried out. She looked beautiful and everything was impeccable. Moreover, it was a great comfort to be heard and meet with you to discuss and plan everything. As you are well aware, planning a home going celebration is overwhelming to say the least especially when it is your mother. However, it was easier to bear due to your patience, accessibility, understanding and deep knowledge of the process. Thank you for a stellar service!!! Our mother would have been well pleased. I look forward to doing my pre-planning with you and giving Miller Hill The Funeral Directors my highest recommendation to family, friends and colleagues. May you be forever blessed!”

“If I could give them a thousand stars I would. Miller & Hill Funeral Directors were the most professional and absolutely amazing company to work with. They took care of every detail and the service for my mother was beautiful. I cannot say thank you enough to their team. They truly know what they are doing and would recommend them to anyone for their family final wishes.”

“I lost my husband, Ronald Colson Sr., on April 27, 2021. He was everything to our family. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, brother-in-law, and friend. Miller & Hill "The Funeral Directors" treated him with the dignity and respect he deserved. After being guided through the entire process, we found that it was not over for Miller & Hill. They continued to be there for my family with grief counseling and beyond. I don't know that we could have gotten through the process of my husband's passing and laying him to rest without them. I have never seen such "all in" support with such exquisite professionalism as we saw with the entire team. It was an experience my family and I will forever be grateful for. Steven, who was personally assigned to our family, was so patient, compassionate, and professional. He was there to handle everything for us, and he did it all. He even handled the insurance company and became the first successful person to make good on a claim with my husband's insurance policy that had changed hands several times since the closing of the local plant where he had been employed. Steven also took care of everything with the cemetery. We cannot thank them enough. God Bless You All.”
