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.

“Compassionate Funeral Care is aptly named. Rolland, Amy, Rebecca, and the volunteers who helped us, Tom and Pat, are all so warm, knowledgeable, professional and kind. They all work very hard to make such a difficult time so much easier. They thought of every detail to not only take care of her family, but to also ensure our Mom’s services represented her beautiful spirit. I can’t recommend them highly enough. I’m sure that after spending a few minutes with them, you’ll feel their caring warmth and professionalism, too.”

“Rolland was amazing so caring he went above and beyond to help all of us. This place is very update and clean not dark and drab like most funeral homes are. I can't say enough good things about this place so appreciative to have had them for this very difficult time.”
— Danielle Sims
“My youngest brother passed away recently and since it was a military service and he needed to be transported from Missouri, the process took almost 3 weeks Roland and Melissa did a great job of assisting me and my family throughout the process and had the facility set up beautifully for my brother during the services. They were communicative and also gave us space, made sure things ran smoothly, and even helped us out with configuring lunches and suggesting different caterers and locations. After all of the services were done we had several people come up to us to tell us how amazing everything looked since they frame and print photos themselves to be hung up. They also have two TVs for slideshows they made with music in the background as well. We will always recommend Compassionate Care to anybody that is in need of funeral services because they will take care of you”
