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.

“I'm most grateful for the professional kindness, very helpful support, and the most complete information from each of the staff. This was my first time having to take care of final responsibilities for my best friend. I was also feeling an emotional loss when first walking in the door. Elly, a manager in the Daytona location literally guided me through the process while listening to me and calming me. Each member helped me feel confident and thankful. I highly recommend you allowing them to serve you in the best ways.”
