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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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'm taking the time to write this VERY important message because in times like these Great local business need to be recognized!!!! JT Hall or should i say Ms. Helen, was incredibly compassionate and helpful during a very difficult time. Ms. Helen went above and beyond to assist me, especially since I was mostly communicating from NC. She has been patient, understanding, and truly caring throughout the entire process. I am very grateful for the kindness, professionalism, and support shown to me and my family. I highly recommend JT Funeral Home. Eternally grateful.”

“Helen and her team did an awesome job with my moms body. During this difficult time, Helen made the process easy and was always available if we had any questions. This is the second time we have used JT Hall and we have been so appreciative of the professionalism Helen has exhibited. Thank you so much for everything. My mom looked beautiful and everything went according to plan.”
— F Smith
“I was extremely disappointed in fact appalled by the actions of JT HALL funeral services. The unprofessionalism is absolutely unacceptable. This lady closed the casket in front of the family throwing a towel on my Father’s face and proceeded to attempt to lock the casket with the lining hanging outside the casket. If I could upload the photo I have of how the casket was placed on the church truck you would understand my frustration. Not to mention when we exited the church the family car was inoperable. I understand that things are not always perfect but my experience today was a once in a lifetime event. I’ll never have the opportunity to bury my Father again and believe me if I did I would never consider JT HALL funeral services. I truly wish this NEVER happens to anyone else but PLEASE CONSIDER MY REVIEW WHEN YOU ARE IN NEED OF SERVICES. J T HALL MAY NOT BE THE PLACE TO GO..”
