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.

“E. Vaughn Wray Funeral Establishment provided exceptional service for my nephew’s Celebration of Life. Eric and his team showed unparalleled patience, kindness, and compassion throughout the entire process. My first experience with E. Vaughn Wray Funeral Establishment was in 2018 when my mother passed, and they handled everything flawlessly. Because of that experience, I knew I could trust them again — and they did not disappoint. Every detail was managed with professionalism, care, and class. That’s why E. Vaughn Wray truly is the Landmark of Service.~LaSheena Renee McBride”

“E. Vaughn Wray Funeral Establishment took care of my mom in September 2022. We were referred to them by a previous client. From beginning to end, Eric was a professional. We also had a celebration of life at the funeral home. His staff were all top-notch, thoughtful, caring people. The facility is nice, but I can't say enough about the people. Everyone was so sweet and helpful. They really made us feel like we mattered and that they cared. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you.”
