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.

“Beverly Cromartie is a very personable funeral home with a very professional and accommodating staff with the ability to provide an exceedingly small service to accommodate an exceedingly more extensive service. The special touches that they provide for the family are truly unbelievable. We trusted my mom to Beverly Cromartie and were appreciative of how everything was handled. My mom looked so natural, and like the queen, we all felt she was. There was no task too small or large for them to manage. We were able to reach them during off-hours. We loved the personal care we were given and will always be grateful for what they did and how comfortable we were in this process.”
— Rosa Bolden
