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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Meadors Funeral Home came highly recommended to us, to handle our mom’s services. After having bad service elsewhere for our Dad’s funeral, we were a bit afraid even with the great reviews for Meadors. All I can say is, they are absolutely the best and their ratings are justified. They led us through an extremely tough time with love, compassion, and commitment to make Mom’s funeral everything she wanted and everything we needed, as a family. The staff are very loving, caring and compassionate people. They went the extra mile in so many ways. I’m not typically a person that hugs strangers, but the way they took care of us during this hard time, had me hugging the staff. I highly recommend Meadors Funeral Home in Republic!”

I am deeply grateful for their support and highly recommend them.”

“I cannot express enough gratitude for the compassionate and respectful care my family and I received at Meadors Funeral Home. From the moment we walked in, Rita, who assisted us throughout the process, was an absolute blessing. She treated not only my family but also my mother with the utmost dignity and kindness during such a difficult time. Her professionalism, patience, and empathy made an overwhelming situation much more bearable. Every step of the way, she ensured that our wishes were honored, and her attention to detail provided comfort in knowing my mother was in good hands. I highly recommend Meadors Funeral Home to anyone looking for a funeral home that truly cares for your loved ones as if they were their own.”
