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.

“Truly one of the kindest and caring people I have ever met. Brittany and Jesse especially. They were so professional and so easy to work with. Made the hardest day of my life one of the easiest to get through. Thank you for all you did for my mama. May God bless you all always.”
— Amy Rainoshek
“Brittany made something about which I was totally lost, completely understandable. She was transparent and forthcoming in every aspect of our communication. She gave me answers to questions that I didn't even know to ask. Thank you, Brittany, so much for the care and dignity with which you and the entire staff cared for my Momma.”
— Clyde Causey
