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.

“To whom it may concern my husband passed away at Spartenburg Hospital and we had to have him sent back to Maryland and I was quoted 2 different prices . I called the boss of the funeral home he said that he hires the best embalming people. They ended up decreasing the second price and didn't offer any money. The people had glued his lips all wrong with no smile and they pushed the lips up like an old man. I'm very upset with the ending results. I have never heard of a funeral home not taking insurance. I paid in cash for the services they provided. This was one of the worst experiences of my life. I would not recommend this place. They also made me wait for the death certificates and I had to pay them 10.00 to get them in a day after waiting 2 weeks. They didn't respond the emails or phone calls efficiently. Do not use this company and they don't deserve 1 star !! Thank you !!”

“If I could give this place 0 stars I would. THEY HAD THE WRONG DECEASED PERSON DRESSED IN MY GRANDMOTHERS CLOTHES AND HAIR. They did not bring in the floral arrangements until the service was ending. They ended our funeral with a full blown ADVERTISEMENT about being a “21 century cutting edge funeral home” STAY FAR AWAY. Oh…..and all the viewing rooms are wide open. As we were entering the building walking down the hall to the Chapel I was able to witness at least 4 other dead loved ones of people I don’t even know. Where’s the respect and privacy?!?”

“They went above and beyond my expectations. My family was pleased with everything”
