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.

“My father recently passed and he wanted to be buried (not cremated). I have never been on the end of having to finish things up, tie up loose ends, or however you wish to say it. I was completely in the dark. Mr and Mrs Jennings were EXTREMELY considerate with the entire manner. They were warm, welcoming, considerate, took us step by step through the process, and treated us like we are family. The details were handled directly and professionally. I cannot say enough praise for the way things were accomplished, managed, and set up. To the Jennings family, I cannot thank you enough. Please continue to be the wonderful souls that you are. My entire family has you in our thanks, thoughts, and prayers, for peace. You do wonderful work and an extreme service to my father. He looked fantastic. Thanks again, so very much, and may God bless you all, for all of your days. Curvin Martin”

“This Family was a blessing in disguise, I am so happy & blessed to have picked Jennings Mortuary and Cremation Services to care for our loved one. 🙏 Mr. Tony & Mrs. Karen and their eniter family were so genuine,comforting, loving and caring during our time of greif, It's very rare to find that you find that now in days, within the funeral industry, I am so very grateful that we chose their firm to care for our loved, there was no tricks, games, nore schemes played when we sat and spoke to them about our arrangements, we had to chase them down to pay, which we found so comforting. They made the process easy and comfortable to deal with. I 100% recommend over any other place. Please choose Jennings, you will certainly not regret it! Stay safe, and God bless. I see many lies told by others about their storage and all, which I will not address as I'm a professional within the industry myself, & for me to choose Jennings mortuary and cremation services over the firm in which I'm affiliated with should tell you the trust that I have in the Jennings mortuary firm. God bless and aging thank you so much for the beyond expectations services you provided for me and my family.”

“My mother recently passed and while she was in hospice care I reached out to multiple funeral homes; after speaking with several places I realized Jennings was the one I wanted to work with, Tony the owner gave me a simple explanation of the fees involved, most others gave me a lower price but then added this and that, Tony told me straight out the final costs and was so compassionate. When the time came to actually use their services, Tony couldn’t have been anymore caring and patient with me as I was handling my mother’s final arrangements. He and his family were so kind to me and from everything I could see they treated my mother with the kindest and most respectful care they could. This was the first time I had to handle final arrangements for anyone, this being my mother made it so much harder and the Jennings family helped make this so much easier for me. I want to note I had the majority of her cremains shipped to her final resting place, but I asked for several small urns to be filled for myself, my sister, and my uncle; they were happy to accommodate me. Please consider using this family for your loved ones when that time comes, they made this process easy and comfortable for me. I’m very grateful to Tony and his family.”
