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.

“Several funerals of people I know have been held here or have been conducted by Kilpatrick, including both of my dad's parents and my uncle. They were very respectful and did a good job with how the event was managed.”

“My Mom passed away on April 20th. She was under Hospice Care. They called Kilpatrick and they came out very quickly. They were very professional about that and took care of her. They did a great job of getting her ready for burial. She was beautiful. They treated us with great respect when we went to view her and all the way through burial. Thank you Jason, Laura and staff for the great job. It sure made it easier. I highly recommend them.”
— Tricia Sapp
“I have had four family members brought here and highly recommend. Every person who helped us was kind, compassionate, and professional. John (?) made my grandmother look beautiful and peaceful, Jerry was incredibly patient and helpful, everyone in the office was very understanding during this difficult time. I appreciate them and can't brag on them enough for everything they did for my family and I.”
