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.

With compassion and support, they ensured that every guest felt at ease and well taken care of. The service itself was a moving tribute to my dad's life. The Pumprhey's team flawlessly managed every aspect of the event, guaranteeing a smooth and professional execution. I was genuinely impressed by the team's level of empathy and professionalism. They went above and beyond in accommodating our needs, creating a comforting and inviting environment to honor my father's memory. I wholeheartedly recommend this funeral service to anyone in need of compassionate and exceptional care during a difficult time.

“My family has used Pumphrey’s in the past, so it was the first place I called when my father passed away. The woman I talked to couldn’t answer my questions, so they transferred me to someone at a different location. The person who talked to me made me feel inadequate for not understanding the rules/regulations for transporting my father’s body across state lines (I’m not an expert, that’s why I’m calling you). The conversation was that of a typical “car salesman” and that’s the last thing you need when you just lost a loved one. After that, I immediately called another funeral home that a friend had recommended. I’m so glad I did!!! I dodged a bullet for sure. I definitely wouldn’t recommend Pumphrey’s.”
