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.

“The staff at Wages Funeral Home in Lawrenceville provided exceptional care for our son Dylan. I made one call to Paul and he took the lead on handling everything. He understood what our family needed during this heartbreaking time. We felt supported by Paul and Elizabeth throughout the entire process and cannot thank them enough for their dignity and respect. Todd & Wanda Brownson”

“My family has trusted Tom M. Wages Funeral Home for many years. My brother’s funeral was there in 1998, and I planned my dad’s funeral there in December 2025. Paul, the funeral director, was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful during a very difficult time. He made the process go smoothly and helped arrange military honors for my dad. Stephanie and Elizabeth were also warm, compassionate, and supportive. Their kindness and care meant more to us than I can express.”

They treated her — and all of us — with dignity and respect, taking the time to guide us through each decision with patience and understanding. Their kindness brought comfort when we needed it most, and we will never forget the warmth they extended to our family. We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking a funeral home that truly cares and serves with compassion.”
