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.

“Let me start off by saying WOW!! What a wonderful place, and family running it. My sweet Grandma passed and they made it so easy, as someone who has to have things perfect I know I drove them nuts with the emails, text and calls. They took it in stride never making me feel like a burden. We/I appreciate them so much. James is an absolute GEM as well as his daughter Kelsey, truly the whole staff. They will take care of our whole family when the time has come. Thank you so much again-The McDonald's”

“I can’t say enough good things about how we were treated at Countryside Funeral Home. I live in Iowa, and everything was handled over the phone until the day we arrived. Even without that in-person meeting to plan everything, every single call I made was met with kindness, patience, and genuine care. No matter who I spoke to, they were always accommodating and made sure every detail was taken care of. When Jim took my call after hours and told me I could use him as a funeral director if my dad didn’t make it through the night, I knew right then that I’d found the right place. Jim and his team truly felt like family at my dad’s service and burial. Their compassion and support brought so much comfort during one of the hardest times of our lives. They truly care about the families they serve and have such a passion for what they do. I’ll never forget how comforting they were throughout the entire process.”

“Our experience with Countryside Funeral Home in Anthony, Florida, was beyond exceptional. The entire staff, especially Kelsey, and Stephanie were professional, knowledgeable, accessible, caring, and so kind as we made plans for our precious sister Candace‘s funeral. Kelsey is definitely an expert in her field. I love how she took the time to answer all of our questions before, during, and after the process. She is so easy to talk to and prioritized every thought and concern we had, to insure that we had the most beautiful and honoring funeral service for Candace. Countryside funeral home goes above and beyond. They are always available and I’m pretty confident we called after hours several times and they always answered and never seemed bothered or in a hurry to get off the phone. We are so thankful and blessed to have met and worked with this wonderful family. They worked with us on every detail during a really difficult time and we could not be more pleased. Honestly, five stars is not enough. I wish I could give them 50!!”
