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.

“A friend of mines daughter passed and the obituary, which was written by her ex husband, clearly deemed her (the mother) to be deceased based on the verbiage, and we politely asked to have it changed. It was labeled as "her mother was xxxxx xxx"....they never changed it online and never responded. I find it extremely classless that they would allow this to happen and not respect her, especially in such a fragile moment, and especially since we reached out and asked them to change the information. I wouldn't recommend doing business with them. You would hope for compassion and empathy in these moments, instead of being met with being treated like someone doesn't exist. Bury your loved ones with a company that actually values the family vs. an amount of money. I am not one of those people that leaves bad reviews. I told myself I would give them time, but here we are 4 months later and nothing has changed, so this is the review I believe they deserve. Funeral Homes in my opinion should have the highest compassion and mindfulness for all family members, and their response, or lack thereof, clearly shows they lack the basic skills of taking care of their customers. I would be happy to remove the review, only if they do their job.”

“I don't often deal with funerals but I was extremely impressed with the quality and efficiency of the way things where handled by this 1st class operation. I have to mention Martha Archibald who went above and beyond to help in the process. I would highly recommend if you want to make a most difficult decision and time as painless as possible. Everyone and everything was top notch. Thank you all for your help and I was so happy I was able to personally meet you all.”
