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 WILL NOT RECOMMEND this Funeral Home to anyone. I paid for the service in full and did not get the service I paid for. To have the death certificate signed, I had to contact the ME myself and was back and forth with Mr. Harmon and the ME. Mr. Harmon was confused with our service and someone else service. This caused the other family to walk in during our service and caused our service to end short. The other family was walking in, while my deceased brother was still there with an open casket. The slide show pictures were not shown during the service, and his obituary was not posted in the papers.”

“I wouldn’t recommend this funeral home if it was the only one standing. My in laws family was treated poorly and wasn’t taken care of as should be. Everything was rushed and not sincere. Two months after my in laws death there’s still issues about money being paid out to another funeral home, the wrong amount of death certificates were ordered. Harmon funeral home was 30 mins late to start my in laws service. Their attitudes and customer service were by far the worse especially at a time like that. It took them forever to get his cremations. Definitely will never rely on this funeral home AGAIN. By far the biggest mistake my in laws family made to trust in burying their son. They never return your calls and every time you need to speak to John Harmon he’s “in a meeting” I mean every time you call. They rushed us to say our goodbyes at the time of his funeral because they said his body was to cold and needed to stay out of direct sunlight.”

“My dear friends went to this funeral home for their daughter and sister they lost. The director would not return their call and when they would get in touch they were given horrible customer service. They ended up having to have their loved one transferred to another funeral home. Noone should have to go through this twice because the first funeral home would not and did not do their job. You already have a family dealing with an incredible amount of pain. Shame on this company and director for taking advantage of this family. Do not give them your money or you will be paying for service twice.”
