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.

“Years ago my wife indicated that when it was time, she would like her cremains interred in the ancestral cemetery in Bullard. Knowing that Hart’s had well served at least five generations of her family and personally knowing Steve Daniels had been consistently outstanding in his service, Mr. Daniels was the person I called. He beautifully handled everything, — ceremony set up, flowers transport, interment, and food! Being on the west coast, it was very comforting to know that I had a partner in Macon on whom I could fully and confidently rely.”

“I appreciate the personal care and attention that was provided by all of the staff at Hart's Mortuary in Macon, Georgia. My 94 year old mother was born and raised in Milledgeville and personally recommended this family owned business for her own funeral recently. Her casket had to be shipped from California and Hart's handled all of this in a professional and efficient manner. The graveside service was uplifting, personal and reverent. A special thanks to Dwayne True who went above and beyond during a difficult time for our family.”

“My recent experience at a Hart’s funeral was unsatisfactory! During this pandemic, the burial of a loved one has become even more difficult. Flowers at a funeral not only represent the sender, should they not be able to attend services, but also love and respect for the deceased and the family. They are meant to surround the casket whenever possible to provide comfort to the family and not to be stuffed in the back of the Hart’s van thirty feet away, leaving the casket naked, unadorned, bleak and even more heartbreaking. These gestures of love can be placed and removed along with the chairs, rugs, microphones and tents; adhering to the requirements of cemetery. At this particular funeral, even the very large immediate family’s arrangement was “in the van” while their mother’s casket was sitting completely bare on the metal supports in front of them throughout the service. Shame on you! Where has the past history of a Hart’s funeral gone?”
