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.

“My mother passed in October. Sarah took charge of organizing the service, and did an amazing job! She walked me through how it was going to go and answered all my questions. I provided her with photos of my mom throughout her 75 years, and she and her team put together a fantastic slide show that ran before the service. When there was a potential issue with the seating, she took care of it. The lighting for the service was also great -- my family joked that she could have a job in theater! I think the bottom line was that, in a rough time, I felt taken care of. In a sense, these were my last memories of my mom, and Sarah and Arrington made them perfect. A huge thank you to Sarah and Arrington for all their efforts.”

“Everyone at Arrington Funeral Home made a difficult experience easier. They went above and beyond my expectations. Sarah was very helpful in planning everything and did an amazing job writing mom’s obituary. She described her beautiful. I would highly recommend using Arrington.”

“Sarah was great! I was a little skeptical at first though. She went over and beyond to make sure we were happy and my mom’s wishes was honored. She made sure my mom was beautiful. The service there was excellent. Friendly and welcoming staff. Periodically, they text and make sure we are doing ok. I would rate them at 15/5 but the stars on stop at 5.”
