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.

“From the first conversation we had with Cassie from Glencoe-Hokes Bluff Funeral Home, I knew we made the right choice. It was obvious that she cared and wanted to help our family in every way possible and she did. She went above and beyond throughout the process and was available whenever we needed anything. Cassie was able to guide us thru this difficult time with love and support and I won't forget it. Thank you so very much.”
— Rodney Jennings
“We were treated so kind. They asked us how they could help us and did everything we wanted. They never tried to pressure us into anything more than what we wanted. They were there when we needed them and took their time and was very patient with us. I will use them again if I ever find that I need their services again.”
