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.

“I want to say that the service was so wonderful. I remember when my mother purchased her plot years ago and MS Wagner explained everything and made the transition so easy. Thanks also for the follow up and loving conversations we really appreciate it.”

“Hey Carolynn!! This is Keir! I really appreciate your kindness during this time. And how much information you’ve shared to aide in the process! Thanks for everything, from The Pettigrew-Jarrett family!!”

“Being my age many don't really think about preparing for death. Even with life insurance you don't think about spaces running out. My grandmother before passing bought plots for us, so I decided to go ahead and buy for my kids so we have it if we need it. The people at Piedmont Memorial are amazing. Mrs. Carolynn was wonderful, she is so sweet and made it less awkward feeling for me. She was very reassuring and knowledgeable. She answered all questions that I have. I am at peace knowing my family, parents, siblings, husband and now my kids have nothing to worry about.”
— Leah Steele
