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.

“I am thankful for this business as they made the funeral of my father easy and were very respectful and knowledgeable. My dad looked peaceful and I was very happy with everything. I mostly saw Brandon, and Devon both of whom were amazing. Loved the sweet emotional support kitty!! Thank you for making such a hard time a little bit easier. I would definitely recommend”

“My husband was cremated at McDonald’s and son funeral home incoming when I received his cremains as I lifted them out of the box the plastic bag broke immediately and his ashes fell onto the carpet. This was very traumatizing to me and my daughter. We called McDonald to ask them to come and see what happened. They said they didn’t have anyone available. My daughter took a picture of the bag and the bag down to the funeral home and spoke with Claire, who would not even look at the bag or picture and dismiss this as our fault they gave us another bag much heavier than the original and never said they were sorry I would not recommend a funeral home.”

“I found the employees at the Cumming location to be aloof and unhelpful. Obviously we are all there during a time of distress, but I do not believe this was my grief, I believe it was the attitude of the employees. The building is dated and feels very disjointed, which is probably a function of the age, but I believe this area would be well served by a more modern, less stuffy facility with a more friendly, caring staff.”
