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.

“Cannot say enough wonderful things about Matt and Gaskill-Brown. I lost both of my parents this year in a short period of time and had no idea what I was doing. Matt was so very kind, helpful, and professional. He made everything so easy that I felt I was forgetting something! I am so thankful to have trusted Matt with the care of my parents and cannot recommend Gaskill-Brown Funeral Home enough.”
— Deb Crawford
