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.

“The funeral director was very knowledgeable and thorough. The whole process was very professional and somewhat profound in a good way. From start to finish it was 24 days. I had my Lori cremated and separated into four urns and I am very pleased with the quality of the urns and the timeframe that it took to get through the process. I know sometimes it can take quite a while but Alan And Dahl handled it in a reasonable timeframe and I appreciate that very much. They made a difficult process smooth and seamless. Thank you Tom and thank you Alan And Dahl for your professionalism!”

“The entire team was so professional and empathetic. They went out of their way to make sure I was taken care of - from the inititial interaction assisting with all of the paperwork tp making sure everything went smoothly. They took the time to follow up and check in on me and to provide additional resources such as grief counseling. They also let me know that I could contact them at any time for any other questions I had or assistance I might need. They were a pleasure and I am glad they were the ones taking care of me and my family at such a difficult time.”
— Valerie Simpson
“They won’t tell you over the phone that they will match prices with other funeral homes for a cheaper cremation rate. Adam’s cremation service in Anderson is 999.00 to get cremated. So bring this up over in person they will drop your bill from 2500 to 1,000 The lady up front was also super unprofessional. It’s unethical what they are trying to charge people and won’t tell you about the price match over the phone.”
