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.

“At first, Anita told me she wasn’t sure she could take on my mother’s service. After two or three more calls (and a lot of prayer) she said yes, and I truly believe that was God at work. Anita was nothing short of a God-send to me and my family. She went above and beyond to make sure my mother’s career in nursing was honored, including helping make it possible for the Nursing Memorial Honor Guard to be present—something that meant more to us than words can express. Anita didn’t just “officiate” a service; she carried me through it. She held me while I cried, steadied me when I felt overwhelmed, and handled details I could not have managed in my grief. There is absolutely no way I could have planned and coordinated my mother’s Celebration of Life without her. Anita’s compassion, faith, and selflessness will stay with me forever. I will always be grateful for the way she honored my mother and supported me in one of the hardest moments of my life.”

“Jason and Anita Shipman will treat you like family. I had never experienced having to plan a funeral, until this year. They provided support in ways I didn’t know I would need. I felt so comfortable about the care my loved one was receiving while at the funeral home. The funeral kept me informed on every process and accommodated all of my needs and worries. I would highly recommend this family. The Shipman’s truly are amazing people. Thank you all for everything you have done for me!”
— Brina Thomas
“Everyone we have dealt with at Shipman Funeral Home has been wonderful and caring. TJ took time to explain everything and was very informative. It felt like they truly care about the family as well as the person who has passed. I am very happy with how they treated my mom as well as how they treated the family.”
— Nancy Atchley
