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.

“Nicholson Funeral & Cremation Services – Thomasville Chapel handled my father-in-law’s arrangements with such compassion and care. Janet Piar went above and beyond for our family — helping write and publish the obituary, securing death certificates, and guiding us through every detail with patience and kindness. Their cremation services were affordable, and they even assisted with Veteran Affairs to obtain his DD214 and flag, which meant so much to us. They offered thoughtful keepsakes like fingerprint jewelry and glass creations, and even provided helpful discounts during this difficult time. We are truly grateful for their support and the dignity they gave our loved one. Highly recommended.”

I am truly grateful.”

“My mom recently passed away. Alex at Nicholson funeral home was amazing. He made my daughter and I feel comfortable and explained each step clearly.The process was simple and seamless even though there was basically nothing planned in advance. I appreciate that he did not push things and take advantage of the situation. I would recommend Nicholson to anyone wanting the small welcoming hometown feeling and not break the bank at the same time. We have to say, Alex was angel.”
