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.

“Bennett Funeral Home did an outstanding job with my sister’s recent funeral. Having to make arrangements from some 1000 miles away, I was initially at a loss of knowing how to proceed. Fortunately I contacted Mr. Sam Harrison at Bennett who made things easy through his caring and diligent efforts. Sam made all the arrangements with the church and cemetery. Since we were not arriving in time to select burial clothes, Sam offered, shopped and selected a nice outfit. In my mind, this was above expectation. I was most pleased with everyone involved at Bennett.”

“I'm sorry for the folks that had trouble at Bennett. That's not how things go there. I've had all my family care from Bennett including my dog. All I have seen is a staff ensuring a respectable experience with patience & efforts to accommodate. We wouldn't return if that wasn't so & Gram, Papa, Mom & Dad had time & care in selecting & choosing for family as well as for their exit in our choosing & selecting. ✨”
