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.

“My family used Sewell in January 2019, it was requested by my grandfather because in his words "They don't get over on you with the price, they give you what you need and request :)". That's exactly what they did the price was awesome based on any other funeral homes that we have used in the past. This funeral home reminded me of a home away from home they made you feel comfortable when you walked through the door. They focus on the family needs. When I tell you they were so nice and accommodating to many of the request that my family had, they were amazing. They were able to walk my family through what we considered a stressful situation when dealing with the insurance company because there were issues we ran into. They worked with us and were very patient through this process. The funeral was nice, til this day we still have people tell us how nice the funeral was and how they love the family feel of the funeral home from those that came to the wait. To me they focused on the family and I recommend them every time I can now.”

“First of all, I want to thank ALL the Sewell staff who performed an exceptional customer service to me and my family during the death of my sister. Your professionalism was OUTSTANDING from beginning to end. Whenever we called, you answered or call back immediately. We didn’t know where to start and you helped us. You answered all of our questions and informed us of pertinent information we needed to know. My sister looked good in her casket as though she was about to wake up. This is how good this funeral how made her look. The makeup was natural. Mrs. Lady, y’all did that. I wanted to get her out her casket. I would recommend this funeral home because OUR experience was beyond the call of duty. Again, the Johnson and Brinson family thank you.”

The service provided was top tier and I highly recommend them. Thank you SFH from The Henry Family on doing such a wonderful job.”
