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.

“Tyler did an amazing job with my husband's celebration of life. The video and music was so beautiful. He handled all the details for the presentation of the flag, arranging seating for the family and placing all the flowers. Linda was very helpful with arranging the picture for the handouts and things we needed to do for the second celebration in Charlotte. They made it a comforting experience for our family. It was a pleasure meeting both of them.”
