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.

“Unfortunately, I have attended several funerals and memorial services here recently. This experience with Atkins for my dad was as calming and helpful as the others, especially when writing the obit and finding a pastor to conduct the service. Thank you for that. However, no one took pictures of the flowers or kept the cards from the arrangements that were around Dad's urn. In the past, Atkins did that so we could have them included the guest/memorial book. Thankfully, I took some of my own pics, but what if I hadn't? Other than that ... Thank you.”

I highly recommend their professional and compassionate services.”
