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.

“Holman-Howe helped make a difficult situation easy to navigate. They were so well organized and more important, they demonstrated genuine care about mom’s home-going. The outstanding thing about Holman-Howe was the excellent communication. We live out of state, but the staff helped us through all the details. Kenny was so kind and provided a personal touch we appreciated. Additionally, the extra care expressed after the services was unexpected. Every thoughtful detail including the extras included in what I call ‘the wrap up bag’ made our lives easier. We just mailed the Thank You cards to our funeral guests today. I highly recommend Holman-Howe for those in the Lebanon area.”

“Holman Howe took amazing care of everything for me and my daughter after my husband (her dad) passed on October 19, 2024. I was in shock at his passing and Holman Howe made the complicated process less stressful and manageable as I knew nothing about where to begin. They took care of two services - one here in Lebanon and the other almost three hours away for the burial service. They took care of contacting many veteran organizations so that my husband had full military honors and so much more. I couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect. They created an awesome video of photos across the years with three songs my daughter and I chose. Holman Howe created multiple photo boards to display at the visitation and arranged for a beautiful display of photos in frames, military honors (Purple Heart) and so much more we wanted our friends and family to enjoy. They even framed photos that were not in frames. They created the most personal and beautiful military tri-fold pamphlet with my husband’s obituary and multiple photos included, as well as had laminated bookmarks made. Holman Howe took care of ordering flowers, setting up a family memorial, and providing a way for family and friends to order flowers and plants and arranged them beautifully. The casket matched the vault perfectly and they had the Marine emblem etched on top of the vault along with my husband’s name. They took care of getting death certificates and displaying the flag that I was presented with by two Marines and had the flag displayed in a gorgeous wooden shadow box. Everyone including the owners were so professional and most caring and kind. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Holman Howe. This is the place to choose to honor your loved one and help family through the process. I am so blessed that I chose this funeral home. Thanks, Gayla Kolb Lebanon, MO”
