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.

“What an eclectic mix of people. The SPIRIT OF GOD ran rampant here. The WORD OF GOD was preached and received by all who attended. The music was beautiful and brought tears to my friend's eyes. Not a good place to go if you just want to 'play' church. I will say parking was a bit of a bother; however considering the special event, attendance was greater than norm. If one arrived early enough one would find parking a bit easier. All in all, this was a fine place with fine people serving an awesome GOD.”

“Today was a good day! It's usually worse for me being confined to the wheelchair. They are some wonderful people there but there are some who just don't realize how they make others feel and others don't care! Don't get me wrong, pastor Armstrong has never, since I met him in 2004 when my grandson was ordered there by the courts so I wanted him to get help from men I found out he wasn't attending and so I offered to drop him off and pick him up.bi could go there because the program was in the basement, so I didn't count that as church. I vowed never to set foot in another church in life after I was kicked out of church and school in 1968 after it was rumored that I was pregnant! It hurt more than anything in my life but I had to go on. Yesterday, the sermon was about Debra, whom I never heard of. She was a wife, a judge, and a warrior, and I think a profitess! Then I went to Sunday school . It was so awesome. I have hope again that God meant what he said!!”
