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.

“Hatmaker's Funeral Home has done an outstanding job in all the arrangements for our family and extended family assisting Us thru the many diverse and delicate matters that blinds sides or caught off guard, especially dealing with unique personalities buffering and comforting each and every one thru. I am grateful for Stan Hatmaker, as he himself took call for my nephew Neil going to Chattanooga to bring him home, then not long ago, Stan, himself came to transport my beloved older Brother Jimmy, who was treated like royalty same as Stan stood by my family in the passing of our beloved Mother, Angeline Davis Carroll. Stan Hatmaker and his staff go above and beyond providing the best care for our beloveds, even when no one is watching, they offer the same loving care to everyone, rich or poor. GOD bless Stan Hatmaker, Tyler & Britney, rest of staff (Miss our Christa) for all they do to comfort as they care for our beloveds, our community and surrounding areas in the deepest time of needs, the passing of a loved one. Thank You STAN Hatmaker, you are one of a PRECIOUS Kind and have our greatest respect and love as you have given and continue to give to all not just a few.”
