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.

“This is the second time I have used Kirby and Family Funeral and Cremation Services and I have received such loving, caring and respectful care from each person I encountered in my need. They are a wonderful company with outstanding employees. I would highly recommend their services to any friend or relative in need of this type of service. They treated my nephew and my husband with the upmost care and respect. They made an intolerable event in my life and my families lives easier. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.”

“My recent appointment with Kirby & Family was my second interaction with them. Sharlet helped me pre-plan my funeral. I don't think any of us relish doing this. After losing my son, and having to make unplanned decisions, I decided I didn't want my family to have to go through that again. Sharlet made the process very easy. It didn't take long and I now have peace of mind that my family has one less worry. Tom helped me with my son's arrangements. During that stressful time he was so compassionate and helpful. I can't say enough good things about the staff at Kirby. I highly recommend them.”

— Nathan & Chris Duffy
