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 highly recommend Hodges. They treated us like family during the worst time of our lives. Karis was amazing and showed deep care for us. They were very patient and understanding. We were overwhelmed by the passing of our brother and without Hodges, Karis and their team I’m not sure that we could have made it through all of the arrangements. My young niece wanted to be involved in arranging her father’s funeral and Karis was so kind and loving with her. She gave her the stage to choose for her father what she believed he would want. Karis treated her and us with so much kindness. Words can’t ever explain how she made us feel and how much comfort she gave us through out the entire time. Thank you Hodges and thank you Karis. You are family now.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Karis and the team at Hodges Family Funeral Home were absolutely exceptional to work with while sending my mom home. From the very beginning, they showed genuine care, compassion, and professionalism that made one of the hardest times of my life feel just a little lighter. Every detail was handled with such grace, and they went above and beyond to make sure my family and I felt supported and comforted throughout the process. I am truly grateful for their kindness and the way they honored my mom’s life. I would highly recommend them to any family in need of these services.”
