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.

“During one of the hardest times our family has ever faced, the staff at this funeral home were nothing short of compassionate, patient, and deeply respectful. They truly went above and beyond for us, making sure every need was met without ever making us feel rushed or overwhelmed. It was clear that they treated my dad with the utmost care and dignity, and that meant more to us than words can express. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the entire staff, and especially to Misty and Kaitlin for their kindness, support, and genuine compassion throughout this process. We will always be grateful.”

“Very professional and helpful during this very difficult time. I was happy to discover that Hillcrest in Haughton has this sister, funeral home facility. Centuries Memorial had exactly the area that our family needed to accommodate family and friends at both visitation and celebration of life. The funeral director, Mr. Donnie, was exceptional and very dedicated to ensuring that I was comfortable with every aspect of my husband’s service.”
