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 want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to the team at Curley Funeral Home for their exceptional care during one of the most difficult times of my life. When my mom passed away in October 2023 after her courageous battle with cancer, the kindness and professionalism of the staff were truly a blessing. From start to finish, they were courteous, compassionate, and attentive to every detail. My mom looked absolutely beautiful—so peaceful and radiant—thanks to their care and expertise. It brought so much comfort to our family during her wake and service. I am beyond grateful for everything they did to honor my mom’s memory. Thank you, Curley Funeral Home, for making such a hard moment just a little bit easier. Highly recommend.”
