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.

“I wouldn’t even give this place one star if I could. During our funeral they hovered over us like we were going to steal something. Reminded us like we were on some time frame of there’s like we didn’t know we had service planned at noon, which we had handled by our personal pastor. At the end of the service while we were finishing up and saying our last goodbyes the guy rudely rolled a cart noisily into the room as we are doing a silent flag folding ceremony and rushed the loading of our flowers out the door to one of our pickup trucks that it caused his son in law to miss the last part of the goodbyes and flag ceremony because they were in such a hurry to get us out of the building. Never going to use this place again. Don’t bring your loved ones there”

“We’re so thankful for the wonderful people at Flanner Buchanan Decatur Township. For every step in the process & to a person they were outstanding and made the process from final arrangements planning to the visitation & funeral last month so much easier for us. Allyse Worland was the Funeral Director we worked with, and we could not imagine a more compassionate or professional person to work with. She handled every detail perfectly which really freed us up to focus on being there for each other and remembering & celebrating my father. Also, Flanner and Buchanan’s website memorial and photo collage posted online are outstanding and provide an excellent memorial for those visiting the obituary page on their website.”
