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 staff are the very best. From the very start, they were all wonderful and managed to make a difficult time that much easier to bear. I was so overwhelmed but they were so patient with me. They took their time explaining everything to my family and didn't make us feel rushed to make any decisions. I have a feeling every funeral home tells you they care or are the best etc etc but I could tell these people actually meant it. They're honest and thoughtful which is exactly what I needed while we were trying to settle everything. We chose cheaper options and never felt like we were being judged or pressured into spending more. I'm so glad my family went with Fern Hill and not the other funeral home in town. I hope it's a very long time until I have to plan another cremation for a relative but at least if there is a next time, I know this is a local business I can trust. I see why they've been around so long. They're the best and I wouldn't go anywhere else.”

“I could have chosen anyplace, so I guess this my fault, I had no Idea that these people would let my dad lay in a freezer for 28 days refusing to cremate him. The attorney fees to get them to get them to comply were significant ,money that could have gone towards moms care, I felt like I was paying ransom. Save yourself the heartache and the heartache and the sleepless nights and choose more wisely than I did.”
— D Daniels
“Always very professional and kind. We have taken several of our animals there and always met with kindness”
— Darwin Munchkin
