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.

“Cousin Elliot was the absolute best staple of support during the burying my Nana, whom was the last elder. He ensured the logistics, specific details of her casket, flowers, makeup, nails, and song selection met my expectations. Jordan and Pastor Terrell were PHENOMENAL and beyond helpful with assisting my every need and emotionally supporting during the time of bereavement. I am forever grateful.”

“I don't even know where to begin!! The service from the moment I called Mr. White was nothing short of amazing. And I'm not the most reasonable person when it comes to my loved ones and therefore, I had some very unusual requests, but the staff was always right there to assist me with whatever I needed. They allowed me a GREAT deal of one-on-one alone time with my son while he was in their care. And I mean A LOT, like every day for hours a lot! I will be forever grateful; it made the process a 1000 less stressful to say goodbye. They definitely went above and beyond. They've even reached out long after the services. If that doesn't show compassion and dedication, then I don't know what does. Thank you all very much. ”

“My family and I were taken care of as if we were family. My Mother specifically requested White's and would be proud of how they carried out her wishes. She was beautifully arrayed; Her clothes, hair, and makeup were beautifully done. Services were very professional and timely. Thanks for a job well done!”
