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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“My mom recently passed, and a few years ago, I had taken her to Jackson's to prepay for her cremation. Everyone at Jackson's have been wonderful to work with, from the beginning. When the time came for them to pick my mom up, they were so respectful of both the treatment of my mom, and also myself. This is a family owned, and run business, and it truly shows. I've had to contact them multiple times with questions and to order more death certificates, and everyone I've spoken, and worked with, have been so nice and helpful. I highly recommend Jackson's. I will be going back in the near future to prepay for my cremation.”

“We recently used Jackson Funeral Service for a family member, and we were disappointed with the service they provided. We had our family member was buried at Carolina Memorial Sanctuary in Mills River, NC. They were fantastic and helped us all the way through the whole process. Our issues with Jackson's Funeral Service were, that they refused to confirm a delivery day and time to the Sanctuary until they had received the casket. The casket was a handmade woven casket and was guaranteed to be there a day before the burial. But they still refused to confirm a delivery. The person that makes the caskets even called them and got the same answer. She said, "she had never had this happen before and does this frequently". The other issue was with the flowers. They refused to bring the flowers with the body when they delivered it to the Sanctuary. The florist was kind enough to bring them to the Sanctuary, rather than have us drive and pick them up before the start of the service. I would not recommend using and we will never consider using them in the future.”

“We had a direct cremation, when my sister died and wanted to have a private family service at a later date. Andy was so kind and didnt try to "sell us more". The price was very reasonable. Would highly recommend this family owned business.”
