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.

“Justin and Jessica was all that I could ask for in handling of my husband‘s death. They went above and beyond to help make sure everything was done according to what we wanted. Everything was done with professionalism and kindness. We showed a few pictures and talked to Justin about what kind of a person my husband was and he wrote the perfect obituary for him. Something that I will treasure forever. Each step was done with love and care. Justin never rushed us through anything always telling us to take our time. Justin even made sure I got my husband’s shirt back a gift that I had given him. Thank you, Justin and Jessica for your kindness during this time, it will never be forgotten.”

They handled every detail with grace, made sure our family felt supported, and created a service that truly honored my father-in-law’s life. Their calming presence and attention to detail gave us peace of mind when we needed it most. Thank you, Justin and Jessica, for going above and beyond for our family — your kindness will never be forgotten”

“It’s taking me sometime to write this review. I can not express enough gratitude for the professionalism, compassion, and patience of Justin and Jessica . My sister died suddenly and we were grief stricken, angry, confused, emotions all over the place. They kept us on course and focused on planning the funeral. They considered our wishes as to how we wanted to proceed with the arrangements and burial. They answered every question supported our decisions and were transparent with the pricing and cost. They never played on our sympathy and grief to increase profit and I appreciated that. It was refreshingly ethical and they just supported us through the process. I can honestly say they went above and beyond when hours before the service the grave digger found cement in our gravesite Justin and Jessica bought sledge hammers. Justin took off his suit jacket and busted that concrete so the graveside service and burial could take place as scheduled. Jessica did some sledge hammer as well as did Mr. Edgar the grave digger. At the point Justin took off his jacket and grabbed the handle of that sledge hammer in such a selfless act I knew that this was more than just a job and another body to bury to him. He cares about the families in this community he serves. Debbie Couraud (Sister of Deceased) Poplarville Ms Date of Service May 19, 2023”
