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.

“Planning a funeral for a loved one is difficult to say the least however , Tetrick Funeral Services made the process easier. Although they did not know us personally or my mother, who passed, we all felt like they did. We were treated with great care and concern. And my mother was treated with dignity. Amber made sure every detail was perfect. Her funeral was also live streamed so out of town family and friends could see it. This was a great asset for us. Elizabeth and Jennifer, we also give thanks to for reaching out after the service to check on us. We really appreciated that follow up.”

“Recently lost our son at 18 weeks gestational. Everything happened so fast, so much was going on.. I felt lost and discouraged. Tetrick helped us every step of the way, answered any and all questions, made sure we were satisfied. Gave me the option to dress my son and decide how his casket would look. After graveside the staff helped me load everything in my car and expressed their condolences many times. In a time where I didn't know what to do, they did everything and did it with pride. So, thank you to the staff of Tetrick Funeral Home! I highly recommend them for any funeral needs!”

“Amber and the entire staff went out of their way to help planning the service for my beloved wife. We sat together as a family to make it one of the most beautiful services for her. I’ve had several friends comment to me that the service was one that really stood out in paying a beautiful tribute to my wife. The staff has reached to me several times after the service to check on me and my family and that really means a lot to me. I am so glad that we chose Tetrick to care for her and my family. With the amount of friends and family that came to comfort us the staff done a great job of helping me to getting time with each and everyone that attended before and after the service. They was willing and cared enough to make sure the service was a loving tribute to my wife.”
