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 owner of this place clearly cares about what he is doing. He isn't hitting people with a giant price tag during one of the hardest times of their life. This is an example of how funeral services should be handled.”

“Shawn, Steve and the staff took great care of our family and my grandma from the night she passed until she was buried 5 days later. They were very compassionate, patient and detail oriented. Their staff took care of every detail - from contacting florists to the gravesite staff as well as the newspaper and church officials. They are also much more reasonable on prices then local competitors and still offer top notch, good quality services. They made a very tough process much smoother and less stressful for our entire family. We highly recommend them. Thank you from our entire family!”
— Rylee Barnes
“Shawn and his team came through big for me and my family in the handling of the death of my father. I highly recommend Heritage Funeral to anybody in south central Kansas that has to suffer and grieve through the loss of a loved one and might need a lot of help to take care of things in a timely matter. And I thank God for his efforts and am forever grateful. Calvin”
