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.

“Want to thank Carl Morris Jr. Was under a lot of stress due to the lost of my uncle, but he was very patient and understanding which me. I recommend Cedar Hills thanks to Carl's fantastic service.”

“To say I was happy with the overall experience I had as a customer with Cedar Hill funeral home would be the understatement of the year. The entire staff, from the drivers to the funeral directors, everyone is amazing, they consistently showed my family compassion and empathy throughout the entire planning process, while never faltering from the high level of professionalism I quickly became accustomed to. The care and attention to detail they gave my mother and our family was priceless. The detail and care was evident as the preparation of her body for the homegoing service was seamless. My initial meeting and planning with funeral director, Ms. Sheria, set the tone for the remaining interactions I would have with the day-of funeral director, Ms. Karen, and Ms. Pearl, an advisor on the cemetery side. This dream team of ladies are exactly what my family needed at this difficult time and I can not thank everyone enough for making a hard day just a little easier.”

I am deeply grateful for the grace and kindness shown to my family, and I highly recommend this funeral home to anyone navigating the loss of a loved one.”
