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.

“Kenneth Brown, our funeral director, was able to transfer and provide services we had bought in Georgia many years prior to our need, without a glitch. His exceptional and professional understanding made the process flawless, at a time when we needed flawless!! Even though we had planned ahead for this day, when it arrived, there was still much more that we had to do and thanks to Kenneth and his exceptional care, not to mention writing skills, we were able to compose an obituary together that encompassed our feelings and all other unforeseen details!! I write this review in thanks to he and his staff for providing love, care, concern, patience, flexibility, talent and above all a professional and fitting service for our final moments with our precious, beloved mother! Thank you Kenneth and staff @ Lawrence Brown Funeral Home, Selma, Alabama! Vinette Trivitayakhun”

“Lawrence Brown Funeral Home was absolutely wonderful. Losing a loved one is never easy, however, Kenny Martin and Mr. Jackie made a hard situation so much easier. My momma would have been pleased with her funeral. We were listened to and treated like we were the only people who mattered at the time and that meant alot to our family. Thank you Kenny and Mr.Jackie from the bottom of our hearts”
