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.

“I just got off the phone with Ronnice at Flowers by John Kent and she was so lovely and helpful. She went above and beyond helping me choose a rose color for my daughter’s birthday arrangement and even texted me the current color selection to help me decide. Every rose color is GORGEOUS! Thank you Ronnice for all of your help! Will definitely be using Flowers by John Kent on the future.”
