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.

“Father. Home town and personal. Able to add to prearranged plan. Easy to keep in contact. Fellowship Hall staff/volunteers wonderful. Worked with our church. Arranged military rites. Made it easier for me and I needed that.”

“When there are other services, this one is not on my top 5. No coordination of vehicles or where people needed to drive to. At the site there was no sound and it was hot. No waters and minimal seats. Elderly guests were falling down from over heating since it was 30 minutes late to start. They used programs as fans but not the best. They joked about it not taking long but this is a service. The family was mourning. Still good facilities but mispronounced names etc.”
— Abby Colvin
“We have been to a view visitations here! This is a great place even though the situation isn’t. They help and are there for any questions you need answered! They are caring and very understanding. As for visitations, alot of the time it’s hard to look at a loved one and feel like they don’t look like the person you knew and loved! Everyone I have had to say goodbye to look like the family I knew and loved. Thank you all so much for all you did for our family! Definitely a place I would recommend”
— Ms. Katey
