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 lost 2 brothers and called Bell Mortuary both times to handle the arrangements. If you've lost a loved one, I highly recommend Bell Mortuary. They took time to take care of everything for me. No excuses, no misunderstandings, no fussing over details. They continued to stay in contact with me during the entire process. Thank you, Karen, Elizabeth and Jeff.”
— Elizabeth Ferguson
“In November, I unexpectedly found myself navigating the death of my Father. I found Bell Mortuary in a search for an affordable place to handle his final arrangements. Jeff and his team were so responsive to me, and kind and compassionate throughout the entire process- even reaching out to check on me several weeks afterward. They were completely transparent with me about all the options and lent great assistance to me, making a really hard time a little less stressful. I’d choose them again.”
— Blaire Duncan
“The caring and compassion the staff have shown my family and me at this time of my father's passing has been more than we could have ever expected. The staff has treated us with respect and have given patience and grace. Could not recommend Bell and staff more. I thank them for all they have done.”
