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.

“Before I actually called, I played around with the design your monument feature on their website. There are so many options that it can be overwhelming but it is a nice feature they offer. In the end, I decided to match my mother’s stone to the others in her family’s plot. Shelley was wonderful to work with. It felt like I was talking to a friend. She had the stone we needed in stock and the timeline she gave me was completely accurate. Once I received the proof (sample) photo of what the stone would look like, it was only a few weeks until it was ready. I was not able to be there when they installed it but my Uncle was there and he sent a photo. I am very pleased with my entire experience, from the first call to the final product, and would recommend Miller to everyone in the area.”

“I worked with Wesley to order my dad's monument. This was a little challenging since I live in Atlanta; however, Wesley was great to work with (even long distance). He would send me "mock-ups" by email or text, and then I could talk with my mom to make sure everything was the way she wanted it to be. They also ordered my dad's Veteran's marker for us and installed both the marker and the headstone monument. We were very pleased with the final products. Wesley was always very courteous, kind, and prompt to return calls, etc.”

“My entire experience with Miller Monument was all positive. Very courteous and professional. They installed my brothers headstone, headstone base and coping (I think this is the name for the stone grave border) at Old Nazareth Cemetery in Cherokee county Alabama, on January 2nd 2024 and it was exactly what I ordered at a decent price. Thank you Miller Monument.”
