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.

“The team at Destiny’s Funeral home went above and beyond to support our family during one of the most difficult times of our lives. Steven played an amazing role in putting my family at ease that it will all work out. Ada by far is the best, she was compassionate & they’re the entire sitting of the service. Their compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail made everything feel seamless and respectful. Every interaction was handled with such genuine care, and we are deeply grateful for the kindness shown to us and our loved one. Thank you for helping us create a beautiful and meaningful farewell.”

“Our family was referred to Destiny Funeral Home & Crematory by a close friend, whose Uncle had services with them. From the moment we were in contact with Destiny, we received warmth, comfort, and care that is necessary when you are about to lose a loved one or have lost a loved one. We came several days before my Mom passed, and Steven (general manager) was responsive and informing in those moments and reassured us, that whenever my Mom transitioned they would be there for us. Our Mom passed on Christmas Eve and Destiny was there, even through the holidays, providing the upmost care. The young gentleman that picked her up Christmas Day, were polite, gracious, and respectful to us and our Mom. We just had her services on January 10th, and Kevin and Mike were there to officiate the services-- both were professional, attuned, and followed our desired plans, also offering suggestions to make things flow smoothly. Our Mother had beautiful services and she looked BEAUTIFUL. We have to thank Destiny Funeral Home & Crematory for the part they played, and allowing us to be part of getting her dressed and ready-- as emotional as it was. Every person at Destiny was professional and kind, including the young lady, Ammorette, that is at the receptionist desk greeting guests as you come in the Funeral Home. To Destiny Funeral Home & Crematory staff from the Walker siblings and family, WE THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You helped provide comfort and peace during a time of crisis and hurt. WE THANK YOU!!! God's Blessings to each of you! ✨️”

“The team at Destiny Funeral Home provided exceptional care in handling the arrangements for our late father. We were deeply touched by their professionalism, patience, and profound compassion during this difficult time. Their respectful accommodation of our specific cultural requests did not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful for their sensitive and dedicated service. Truly a blessing and y'all are amazing, thank you!”
