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 experience with Aubrey Larkin’s Lewis Brothers’ Funeral Ministry was exceptional. I experienced not just professional service. I bear witness to the calling of God. The art of spirituality was manifested as I shared with Mr. Larkin the vision I had for my Momma’s home-going celebration. I wanted classy, elegant, Godly with essence of her Christian journey in the Missionary Baptist Church culture. My mother was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful in her final transition from earth to glory. She lived 91 years of life. My responsibility was to respect her in her final moments. I responded to the charge. I fulfilled the obligation. And yes I have a mighty God to glorify. I praise God. I give him ALL the Glory. (As Mr. Larkin says it belongs to Him). We all are on a journey of servitude. I say to you in sincere expression WELL DONE. “STAY on the Wall - Don’t come down. The work must not cease.” Minister Sherri Lynn Cook, DMin.”
