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 an incredibly difficult time for our family, Mr. Arrington and the staff handled everything with compassion, professionalism, and respect. They coordinated the transportation of our loved one’s remains across four states and kept us informed every step of the way. What could have been overwhelming was made smooth and dignified because of their care and attention to detail. We’re deeply grateful for the kindness they showed our family and would highly recommend their services to anyone in need.”

“My family has been using Community Funeral Service since it was founded in 1970. Mr. Ross the founder and my grandmother, (Elnora), went to school together in the 30's & 40's. They remained friends all these years. When she passed in 2021 at age 91...It warmed my heart to see that he came to her viewing saying that he had to come see "Sis," (that was her nickname). Beyond all of that...They provide great professional service. Always friendly and do whatever they can to assist making the moment as easy as possible on the family. But most importantly perhaps....THEY DO EXCELLENT WORK!!!!!! All of my loved ones have looked SO GOOD being in their care 🤎 Can't forget the personal touch they provide...It means a lot in moments like these. I HIGHLY Recommend 💯”
