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.

“Our Mother recently passed away. We had prepaid funeral expenses with this funeral home. We prepaid $12,000. We ended up opting not to have a visitation or funeral at this funeral home. Our Mother was buried in Kentucky so we had a short service at the Funeral home in Kentucky. Thomas Justin did transport our Mom to the funeral home in Kentucky. The casket was bought at Thomas Justin. The Vault was bought in Kentucky. The reason for the one star is the charges, the service, and the poor response and communication from the staff. When our Mother passed we gave the funeral home a photo of Mom. They said they would make Mom look good. They lied. Our Mother looked horrible!!! It was so bad we considered having a closed casket. Mom always wore her hair up on her head, and it was that way in the picture we provided. When we saw Mom in Kentucky her hair was just combed and was straight down. They charged well over $200 for doing her hair. I could have done it for two dollars and in about two minutes. I’m not being sarcastic, I’m being serious. Her makeup was horrible and again a huge charge for this also. When questioned about the charges they inflated prices and it wasn’t until we got another person involved before we finally were able to get a little over $5000 back of the original $12,000. If you are considering using this establishment I would definitely think twice. It seems they have more bad reviews than good. I know I will do whatever I can to keep anyone from enduring what my family had to endure due to the lack of care and concern at this business. TAKE MY ADVICE AND STAY AWAY!!!!”

“I would advise anybody to stay away from this business. Terrible communication and total incompetence throughout. Please, there are better providers than this one!”

“Thomas-Justin of Kenwood is the Best hands down! Tom and Jane are the Best ! They sat down with me to discuss my wishes for Mom ! They both listened to my request and delivered exactly what I ask for ! Mom was so Beautiful and looked exactly as expected!!! I strongly suggest Thomas-Jefferson of Kenwood. Might I add, Only let Tom or Jane make your arrangements, Don’t settle for less as Tom and Jane are the Best !!!!”
