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.

“In July 2025 my family and I experienced the unexpected passing of my mother. At a very traumatic time in our lives, we worked with Arrington Funeral Home for the homegoing services and burial. The funeral home and staff served my family with dignity, respect and compassion at the time we needed it most. If you are ever in need of funeral services, I highly recommend Arrington Funeral Home.”

“The Dubose family has experienced grief with the passing of our mother; however, we have remained blessed and grateful throughout the entire process. Mrs. Cynthia Gunning showed exceptional kindness during each phone call. The mortician and the presentation of my mother's attire were perfectly aligned with our expectations. The floral arrangements and funeral home services were beautiful. The graduates, Dr. Christal M. Whitfield, and the Arrington staff displayed professionalism and compassion. The obituary was exactly as we wanted it to be. They also reassured us and provided attentive care during these difficult times. The Arrington Funeral has become an important part of our family, and we sincerely thank everyone involved. Sincerely, The Dubose Family.”
