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.

“Jennifer and Randy Kelley are a great team that worked very well together to help with my son’s celebration of life. I truly appreciated their help in every area of need to make my part in preparing for my son’s service go smoothly. Even waiting in freezing temperatures to make sure everything was finalized at the committal site. It was a good experience during a sorrowful time and I’m thankful for Jen and Randy’s expertise in their positions at Nelsen.”
