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 prearranged funerals are so easy for a family to carry out once a loved one has passed. The staff at D.O. McComb was professional, empathetic and kind to our entire family. They gave us exactly what we asked for and we felt like they took very good care of us through the whole process. I would recommend them to anyone and I will be using them for my and my husband’s pre planned funerals.”

“I am a funeral director from out of the area and have worked with this location several times to provide help for my own family. Facility is clean and updated; staff kind and accommodating; body presentation was good(my mother had been sick for many years and she looked very good after their care) Will use again if the need arises”

“Poorly organized. Little and vague direction during service. Charged an extra $595.00 in middle of service fo extra space we did not ask for. No paper towels in men’s restroom for 2 hours. Had to ask at least 2 times. Family been using D.O. McComb funeral homes since 1977. What happened!? Just a few of many complaints that we have. All was brought to their attention and given constructive criticism in hopes no other family goes through this. We will take our beloved elsewhere. 6/6/2021 A follow up to my review. You will see someone gave info for me to contact them to resolve some issues we had. I tried to numerous times. I had another family member do the same. Always came back undeliverable. We sent donations envelope for a different family to D.O. McComb and son that was mistakenly with ours. I hope that family received it. Our funeral director was also given our concerns thru a different associate, and followed up twice. She never reached out to us either.”
