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 never thought I'd be so inclined to write a review for a funeral home, but with how humble and professional the girl that handled the services was, I feel like she should be recognized. We just had my cousins funeral service here and it was, as you all know, a very emotional and vulnerable time for my family. Mattie over saw the service and coordination of everything. She was there when needed, but out of the way and gave us all room to mourn. This lady was the absolute best.”
— Jordan Griffith
