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 treatment I received from Lenwood and his staff goes unmatched. He has taken care of everything for me in regard to my father, my mother and most recently my father-in-law. He made things smooth during a very hard time. They showed empathy, which is unfortunately something a lot of people lack these days. I will forever be grateful to McNary Williams Jackson for everything they have done for me and my family. I highly suggest using them if you want quality care for your loved ones & yourself.”
