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 made my arrangements for my Dear Father at the Cedar Rd Great Bridge location. Naomi Carl and Grace Giles walked me through the process. Grace was my funeral director and primary point of contact. She was accessible at all times and responded promptly to all my inquiries. The viewing and burial went off without a hitch and I could not have been more pleased. The preparation and presentation of my Father was amazing and he looked as though he was resting. The loss of a love one is not easy so be sure to select the correct funeral home to ease the process. Thank you Grace and Naomi. My family appreciates you.”

“If you are able to bury your family members any where else. Do it. This place is a business NOT a funeral home. They charge 650 dollars to just simply drive less than a fifth of a mile. We could carry the casket to the burial plot. In no way is this place fair. They don't give you time to grieve at all. They call the day of or the day after the notice of a passing. These people are tearing entire family's bank accounts apart.”

“I know that in this world people have to make their money , but one thing I’ll never be okay with is taking advantage of people. You made it almost impossible for my grandmother to grieve my grandfather because all you all were worried about was money the first day he was passed. You overcharged her and when we found somewhere else to go you tried to charge her over $1,000 to just hold him and give him over to someone else. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Think about people instead of money and have some passion .”
