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.

“The funeral home did a wonderful job with the funeral! My family needed a memorial service a couple days after my sisters passing and they accommodated every need my family had. It was affordable and they did everything they could to keep the cost at our budget. The employees are sincere. I would recommend Philips Funeral Home more than the other that are local.”

“Everyone at Phillips was extremely caring, supportive and helpful after my father’s passing. Lacey truly went the extra mile for our family. She was very patient, informative and compassionate during each step of this seemingly overwhelming and painful process. Elizabeth was wonderful to personally reach out to check on me in the weeks following my dad’s passing. A big thank you to Phillips for helping create a wonderful and special day to honor my dad’s life.”
