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.

“Dwayne Spencer Funeral Home, Where do I begin but to tell you that when my family was looking for a Funeral Home for my Brother Mikey may his God Given Soul RIP, I knew this was the place. From the time we walked in for our tour in which this place was nice, warm, very peaceful and had beautiful lighted candle chandeliers this was definitely the place. Just also need to say that Libby and all the staff just so kind, caring and very comforting they all took good care of us and my Brother so very well. They made everything at ease from the arrangements to the service and they also checked on us through out the whole process of it all. Thank You All Again Much Appreciated Theresa Alexander & Family”

“Everyone was so helpful and patient with the planning of my dad’s funeral. They were all so kind through the entire process and the funeral was perfect. They did everything we asked for and still check in to see how we are doing as well as offering some different options for grief counseling. We also had my mom’s funeral here in 2017 which is why we came back. They make the process so easy”
