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.

“Small’s Review On behalf of our family, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for the exceptional service and compassionate care you provided during the most difficult time of our lives. The loss of our beloved Mother, Marion Walker Taylor, left us heartbroken and overwhelmed, but your staff's professionalism, empathy, and respect made the entire process more manageable. From our first meeting, you guided us with patience and understanding, ensuring every detail was handled with the utmost care and consideration. Your team went above and beyond to honor our Mother’s memory and to create a beautiful and dignified service that truly celebrated her life. We were particularly touched by the beautiful floral arrangements, the seamless coordination of the service, the kindness of Taylor, Bryant, Kendrick, Alonzo and the rest of the Small’s staff. The care and respect you showed not only to our family but also to our cherished guests will never be forgotten. In a time of immense grief, you provided a sense of peace and comfort that was invaluable to us. We are eternally grateful for your support and would highly recommend your services to anyone in need of compassionate and professional funeral care. With all our Love, Tawana, Tina, Monicka and the entire Taylor and Walker Family”

“Truly an amazing experience working with Taylor and Smalls-Hodges Mortuary West Mobile, despite the circumstances. When laying my mother to rest, the staff was very attentive, compassionate, and empathetic. They helped my family through this difficult process, from beginning to end with great suggestions and honest answers. From selecting the pre-arrangements to the day of the services, they took great care of my mother’s body as well as beautifying her for her day of rest. My family and I did not have to worry about anything more than grieving. I highly recommend using Small’s-Hodges Mortuary West Mobile for any of your loved ones.”
