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 just wanted to say how thankful I am regarding the service that Shannon Bunch and the entire staff at Laurel Oaks Funeral Home gave us at such a difficult time at the passing of my son. Everyone was professional, patient and so caring. The chapel was exactly what I wanted. When other Funeral Homes have gone to a more modern approach for their services, Laurel Oaks has remained traditional, which was very comforting to me. I feel very blessed to have had Shannon Bunch and his staff take care of my son. Sincerely, Wanda Bowman”
