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 can not say enough about Wilson Funeral and Cremation. The way Eric and his staff handled my mom’s services was outstanding. Sitting down with the family and talking to us so knowledgeable and even tells you what casket would look good with her outfit. His I have nothing to hide attitude and consultation is above and beyond customer service! He never rushed us but constantly talked to us about our desires.
