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.

“During the most difficult day of my life, Tammy and Beth came out immediately and comforted me. Tammy, and the entire team at Autumn Green took the absolute best care of my sister, and walked my family through the entire process with compassion, kindness, and love. We never felt alone, and knew we could call at any hour with any question, no matter how small. The team stood by us and helped up make decisions, remembered all the things that we couldn't think of at the time, and never stopped making us feel like we were their family. I can't thank them enough, or recommend them enough to anyone. They are truly the kindest and most compassionate group of people I have ever worked with. Our sincerest thanks to Tammy, Beth, Ann, and everyone else at Autumn Green.”
— Leanne Kelley
“The feel of this funeral home is comfort. Greeted consistently with utmost respect and professionalism, Tammy and her staff have been there for several family members, most recently Mom. Having only dealt with one other funeral home as a family member, and having friends who own other properties, I honestly had no idea that this experience could be anything more than cold - A business transaction in which you're offered standard condolences and a painted on smile. In a world of high priced, stale environments, Autumn Green offers a comfortable home to sit and discuss the life lost, concerns, questions, and a cup of coffee with someone who feels like an old friend.”
— Amy Brown
“Tammy and her staff are wonderful at what they do. Our family used Autumn Green after my fathers recent passing. Kind, compassionate, easy to talk to, forthright. We are grateful to all of them. Tammy is a gem.”
— Darlene Gerry
