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.

“Obaugh Funeral Home handled all of the arrangements when my mother died, from retrieving her from Richmond to bringing her home to McDowell and laying her to rest in the perfect spot. Bryan and Brandi were prompt, communicative and kind. Bryan helped me craft a very personal service which truly celebrated my mom's life. This family owned business treated us like family.”

“Herb & I were extremely satisfied with how our loved one was taken care of during the service and beyond. The staff at Obaugh's are very professional and also down to earth and are very relatable with everything the family wanted to do in our service for our wonderful mother. In our time of need they guided us every step of the way in making sure all our wishes were carried out. They treat you like family.”

“Thanks y'all so much. First experience was with Frances Nadine Whittaker. My husband William Lee Wolfe Sr was so impressed that he recommended y'all to others and choose y'all for himself. When Billy did Frances funeral, he detailed his own funeral to include burial. Unexpectedly, Billy passed almost 2 years later. Brian and his staff did an excellent professional job handling and coordinating everything with Florist Gloria Lindsay, Pastor Donald Lee Altizer, Pastor Zach Royer, and family members. Thank y'all for taking care of Billy and me, fulfilling Billy's final requests, and caring so much. I am eternally grateful to y'all.”
