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.

“Thank you for your exceptional care and compassion during this difficult time. The Booker Family Funeral Services made our life a lot easier planning our 1st funeral. They pulled off all the stops. When I say they did awesome job, everyone was like, "What funeral home was that?" Very professional, they stood on business on down to one of the staff singing at the end a beautiful song it really was a special tribute for my Mom Homegoing. The pictures that were printed and put on easels were an excellent idea. Me and my siblings and I will give you a 100 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“S L Booker Funeral Home and Baton Rouge Staff… I am writing to tell you how satisfied I was with your service for My Dear Brother, Freddie Brown. Grieving his loss was intensifying for me. His death was unexpected and heartbreaking. However, God is true to his word, we all must die. The joy was, he knew Christ and had a true relationship with him. Nevertheless the human side of me didn’t want him to go just yet. When I walked into the Restore Church for the service , from the entrance to the casket my heart was overwhelmed. I could only rejoice, my brother was in Heaven here on earth. Everything was perfect!! Thank y’all so much for helping to easy the transition. May God continue to bless your business is my prayer. Delores B. Stewart/ The Brown Family”
