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 second I walked in the door of Shepherd’s Funeral Home, I felt at ease for the first time. Makayla was beyond phenomenal. My mom passed away unexpectedly, and Makayla has been there for us every step of the way. The communication was excellent, and they were incredibly respectful throughout the entire process. Even after the cremation, they have continued to be there for us, which means so much. I’m so grateful we chose Shepherd’s Funeral Home and would highly recommend them to anyone going through such a difficult time. Thank you so much for everything—it truly means the world to our family.”

“During one of the hardest times of my life, the staff at this funeral home showed an incredible level of compassion, professionalism, and care. From the very beginning, they treated my family—and my mother—with the utmost respect and dignity. Every step of the cremation process was handled with sensitivity and clear communication, which brought a sense of peace during such an overwhelming time. They were patient, kind, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was done exactly as we wished. It’s hard to put into words how much it means to feel supported during a loss like this, but this team made a painful experience just a little bit easier to carry. I’m deeply grateful for the care they showed my mother and our family. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of compassionate and professional services.”
