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.

“At one of the lowest points of my life, after losing my mom, Ronald Jones Funeral Home and Director Vanessa truly made a difference. Vanessa took exceptional care of my mother and made the entire process as easy and stress-free as possible during an incredibly difficult time. My mom looked absolutely beautiful. Every detail was handled with excellence—from the flowers to the ushers. Everything was professional, organized, and seamless. Although this is the work they do every day, Vanessa made it feel deeply personal, as if that day was entirely about honoring my mom—and it was. During a time of profound sadness and life-changing circumstances, Vanessa was always available, incredibly organized, and shared my desire for everything to be perfect. All things considered, everything was beautiful and exactly as it should have been. I am truly grateful for the care, compassion, and dedication shown to my family.”

“Our experience with Ronald L. Jones Funeral Chapels was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment my mother passed, their team responded quickly and handled everything with compassion and professionalism. Vanessa ensured every detail—from the obituary to the final arrangements—was handled accurately and on time. My mom passed on Wednesday and was laid to rest Monday, and the entire process was seamless. They were patient with our family, respectful of our wishes, and completely transparent, even inventorying and returning her jewelry properly. They made my mother look beautiful and peaceful. The facility was immaculate, and their professionalism extended to every detail, including transportation and personal courtesies. During such a painful time, they made everything easier. I highly recommend them.”
