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 a Heart Full of Gratitude 💐 Thank you so much to Joseph Jenkins Funeral Home for the incredible care and compassion you showed during one of the hardest times in my life. From the moment my mother transitioned, you all stepped in—not just as a business, but as family. This is more than a professional relationship. My Uncle David Williams worked at Jenkins for many years before his passing, and you honored him by lovingly caring for his mother, and now, his cousin—my mother. You did a beautiful job with her. She looked so peaceful… so radiant. She even looked 10 years younger. Seeing her like that brought a small measure of peace to our heavy hearts. I will never forget that. Thank you again, from the depths of my soul. Forever grateful, Your family always, Shevonne Booker 🕊️💜”

“I want to thank Jason for helping me and our family when we lost our beloved sister, Bernie. He immediately recognized my challenges with ensuring that my sister had an excellent celebration of life. He had to deal with the additional challenge of assisting me with the coordination since I live in another state. The paperwork was straightforward, and the funeral home checklist he presented helped me with the preparations. Jason’s calm and sincere demeanor significantly eased the tough assignment of caring for my sister’s last wishes. I sincerely thank Jason and the Joseph Jenkins Jr. Funeral Home staff for their professionalism and commitment to exceptional service during my family’s challenging times.”
