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.

“We were given hours to find someplace to take care of my father upon his passing so I googled funeral homes and Cherished was the first to pop up, so I called because I am clueless how it all goes, I guess we are never prepared not really. Anyhow Cecil Martin answered the phone and was so kind and helpful and answered questions that I didn’t know needed to be asked, he walked me through everything and how it would be handled at the time of my father’s passing and it went even better than he explained, the men who came to retrieve his body were so professional, kind RESPECTFUL and gentle! I have so much respect and appreciation for Cecil and Cherished! If you are having to consider finding a funeral home I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHERISHED! Thank You Cecil for being so kind and caring, it makes all the difference when dealing with a death and not sure where to start!”
