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 the most difficult time, making funeral arrangements are tough and we are at our most vulnerable, emotionally. I've read some reviews about this business and I'm sorry things did not go as well as you deserved. My beloved would have been very pleased at the quality of her services at AFFH. Hope Cannon was friendly, effective, and accommodating throughout the planning process and through the service. The funeral service team was excellent. The bad: There were some issues of discourtesy with the receptionist early in the process (name unknown) so I'm reducing my rating by one star. But, all in all, we were pleased.”

“Losing a loved one is never easy, but the team at Alfonso Cannon turned one of the hardest moments of my life into an experience filled with dignity, compassion, and care. From the very first phone call with Hope Cannon I felt supported. She listened deeply, answered every question with patience, and handled even the smallest details with thoughtfulness and professionalism. What truly set them apart was how personal everything felt. They took time to learn about our loved one and found meaningful ways to honor their memory. The service was not just organized—it was beautifully orchestrated, reflecting both respect and warmth. I’ll never forget the kindness shown not only to me but to every member of my family. We are forever grateful for the care they provided and the way they helped us celebrate my sister's life. If you are looking for a funeral home that goes above and beyond, look no further. They are more than a service—they are a blessing in a difficult time.”

“I would like first to "Thank" Hope and Ms. Tammy for showing compassion, patience and grace with me during the entire process of planning my husband's Home Going Service. The entire staff were super nice and always available to take my calls when I needed additional information. The planning was seemless, with the staff arranging the military veteran salute portion of the service. The service was nice from the Reverend preaching to the musician playing. The bag I received after the service filled with the "Thank You" cards and guest sign in book, all had my husband's picture on them. I received the flag for my husband's military service and the staff made sure I even received a carry all for the flag. My husband's remains and death certificates were returned in a timely manner as well. My experience with Alfonso Cannon Funeral Chapel was nothing but positive during a very difficult time in our lives. Thanks again, Marie”
