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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“The staff, especially Mrs. Gwin, guided me in every step with incredible patience and heplful information that I would've forgot/not known. She listened to my wishes to honor my family. All of the details were handled perfectly. I felt like I could not do this by myself and praise God I didn't have to grieve plus make all arrangements alone. I can't think of anything that was left out or I would change. Truly Thankful!”

“My family has always used Peoples and Jerry is wonderful. Him and his staff really care about the families. I have personally seen his professionalism and caring heart with my Mother and my Grannny. He made sure everything was done beautifully even though I don’t remember much about my mothers funeral because I was in so much shock and grief but I do remember that Jerry took care of my mother and she had a beautiful service. My Granny was more recent and I done her hair and painted her fingernails and he helped me being so calm and caring. It meant a lot to me. Thank you peoples for caring about your families you serve it really does make a difference. It’s taken me years to write this review but I’m finally able to do it without crying.”

“Words can never explain how everyone at People's Chapel, especially Jerry Rambin and Steve Ware have treated our family in the many years we have called upon them. They have always been kind, compassionate, and always go the extra mile to ensure not only my family, but all the families they serve are treated with dignity and respect. This is one of the finest and most comfortable and caring funeral homes in Jefferson County. Again, Thank you for always taking wonderful care of all of my family, beginning way back in 1991. Thank you Thank you!!”
