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 want to express my deepest gratitude to T.E. Cooke-Overton and their staff for providing an extraordinary experience during such a challenging time. My grandmother passed away on May 2, 2023, and Renee and the Overton family went above and beyond to make my grandmother’s Home-going Service a beautiful and memorable event. Their elegant and professional demeanor ensured that my family and my grandmother were represented with utmost dignity and respect during our bereavement. They meticulously planned and executed every detail, making sure everything was done impeccably and in order. From the very beginning, I was impressed by their compassion and dedication to providing exceptional service. Renee personally guided me through the entire process, taking the time to understand my wishes and making sure they were met, even exceeding my expectations. Unlike other funeral homes that prioritize profit over personal care, the Overton family was genuinely committed to ensuring that I received the best possible service. They were incredibly accommodating and even went to great lengths to accommodate my specific preferences, such as ensuring my grandmother smelled pleasant. One of my requests was for a horse and carriage, and they not only fulfilled my wish but also arranged for two, making the entire event even more special. Every aspect of the service was meticulously planned and executed, creating a truly beautiful and memorable experience. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Cora, Renee, and the entire T.E. Cooke-Overton staff. If you’re seeking a funeral home that prioritizes compassion, professionalism, and exceptional service, look no further than T.E. Cooke-Overton and their dedicated staff.”
