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.

“I love everything about Mrs. Wanda and all the staff at George H. Weldon. Let me start by saying that I went to two other funeral homes before I went for my meeting with Mrs. Wanda. I wanted nothing but the best for my mom, and she received just that. I left the meeting feeling confident that my mom was in great hands, my sisters and I were treated with compassion, caring, sympathy and understanding. They were professional, efficient and what I love the most is that they communicate with me every step of the way. On the day of the service, my mom looked so beautiful and her makeup looked just like how she will wear it if she was alive. I want to thank everyone at George H. Weldon, my mom looks gorgeous and angelic. I'm very satisfied with the service, staff and everything was amazing. I would recommend your Funeral to anyone that's looking for a great place to hold a service for their loved ones.”
