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.

“My son ordered Valentine’s Day arrangements for my wife, our daughter in law and daughter since we were all in town for the Mardi Gras. All three arrangements were beautiful, excellent flowers, and they lasted. The picture included was taken 9 days after the arrangement was made. Still super fragrant.”

“We loved working with Joey at Arbor House. He did my wedding on 11/8/25 and my flowers were so gorgeous and our venue was very versatile. We asked for flower arrangements in the front fountain, on a sweet heart table, on the front of a gazebo, and flowers in a large urn outside, flower pillars, and around the dj. He did a lot and I honestly didn't give much inspiration. I just really said vibrant sunset colors. I had a bridesmaid and a wedding guest that literally chased Joey down while he was taking down the flowers after the reception to demand that they take his centerpieces home with them because they loved it so much. He was very kind and obliged them.”

“A year ago, my husband and I were a few hours away from our private elopement ceremony, searching for a place to make a decent bouquet. After stopping by a few places in the French quarter with an awful selection, my husband stumbled upon Arbor House Floral on google. We rode our bikes and stopped in to see Joey. Being the week after Mardi Gras, he apologized and said his stock is very low, but he will do his best. About 10 minutes later, Joey handed us the most beautiful bouquet that brought tears to my eyes. He has an incredible talent, probably a savant, with floral arrangements. He also makes very good scented candles, we bought one too and it’s lasted very long, we call it our fancy candle. We couldn’t have been more impressed with Joey. Anyone seeking floral in New Orleans must go to Arbor House.”
