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.

“Very unpleasant with my experience, my father’s funeral was rushed and the preacher was cut short. The hearse did not arrive to meet the family at the church, and after the funeral was over the hearse left to the burial site without leading the family. As i was at the casket for my father’s service i was asked to sit down in the second row as i am the only child. My grandfather had to bury his oldest child two years after burying his youngest and stated after the service that “bay springs will never receive my service again””

“My family has used Bay Springs Funeral Home for years with Jessie L. Crosby at the helm of the leadership rings. The last week has been nothing different. I can say that the staff care about the families and communities of its operation. The business is family-owned and managed; therefore, they can see and know the importance of family. From the McGee-Hardy family, we salute you for continuous professional service based on the quality of care.”
— Dale Hardy
“Mr.Jessie was a very pleasant man to work with (not in a funeral way) and he very much cares for all of his clients - that was very evident for me to see. I would absolutely recommend this funeral home because there is NO doubt in my mind that you and your family would be taken care of in the most compassionate way!”
