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.

“During the worst time of my life, Edwards Funeral Service, took great care of my husband!! Their caring staff was there for me and my children every step of the way. There was no pressure to spend lots of money. I had to keep it simple and low cost. Edwards Funeral Home accommodated that and my husband had a beautiful casket and vault! My husband rode in style to the cemetery in their beautiful car! Im forever grateful.”

“Edwards did a wonderful job for our mother’s funeral. They were very supportive and guided us in the right direction for every step. The cost was also affordable compared to other funeral homes. Mom would have loved the hearse. It was classic and stylish!”
— Jodi Hunter
“My mom had always said that she wanted to go to Edwards to see what they had to offer. She recently passed away and I had to make the trip by myself. It was the worst day of my life. I was so afraid and didn't know what to expect. But they were so friendly and explained how the process worked. They even helped with her obituary, flowers and a song that I wanted to play for her service. I will miss her forever but with people that are so caring it made the day a little bit easier.”
