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.

“This was the most expert, positive experience I’ve encountered in relation to a celebration of life service for the loss of a loved one for myself, family, & dear friends. Unfortunately it was for my loving husband, Bill Kley, & the unexpected results for myself & family after a long illness since June 6th, 2025. He was an American Patriot, who served 12 years in the Navy, & became a hospital corpsman during that time. He loved God 1st, then country, then all his family. Lisa & MaryJane & their staff are at the top of their game as funeral service professionals, providing every detail for the family’s needs during this very emotional time in preparation for the final ceremony of a peaceful memorial for their beloved. Memory Garden, Hardage Giddens Funeral Home, St John’s Bluff Rd, is a beautiful place for the final resting place for your loved ones. I recommend them as the most caring, supportive, & knowledgeable funeral professionals you can trust in Jacksonville, Florida. Ronda Kley & Family Jacksonville, Florida February 20, 2026”

“I cannot thank the team at Dignity Memorial enough for the extraordinary care they showed me while arranging services for my son. From the moment I walked in, they treated me with genuine compassion and patience. They went above and beyond, taking all the time I needed to make decisions without ever rushing me. Every staff member I interacted with listened attentively, offered thoughtful guidance, and truly cared. It felt like I was with family during the hardest moment of my life. Their kindness gave me comfort when I needed it most. Highly recommend. Ford’s”
