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.

“I attended the funeral of my beloved patient at Chapman-Harris Funeral Homes on Harford Road, and I was truly impressed by the entire experience. The facility was extremely clean, well maintained, and welcoming during such an emotional time. The staff was highly professional, respectful, and compassionate from start to finish. Everyone carried themselves with care and dignity, which made a difficult day feel more comforting and organized. If anyone is looking for a place to honor and remember their loved one with grace and professionalism, I would highly recommend Chapman-Harris Funeral Home. The staff was absolutely wonderful, and they also offer a space for the repass, which is a thoughtful and convenient addition for families. This is a place where loved ones are treated with respect, and families are truly supported. — Love, Lady Saint”

“Leaving reviews on both locations because we had business with both. At this location my family was again given the run around about everything, over 24 hour waits for return calls. We submitted paperwork to be completed and when I attempted to pick it back up I was told it would be ready for pickup by 10am from qiona and when I arrived to the location I was greeted by Andrea who seemed nice. I was lead to her office where I had to wait over a hour because the paperwork had not been completed at all so I had to sit there while they supposedly sent it back and forth between locations for signatures and whatever else they needed. A absolute headache. Not a good way at all to treat families dealing with a sudden death from a loved one. Chatman-Harris treated us like crap.”
