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 wife and I just completed our pre planning process with Tyler Waud from Holman’s. He was friendly, thorough, and efficient. He answered all our questions and made certain we understood the process. On the negative side—Prepaying for services involves taking out a life insurance policy with Global Atlantic Financial Group. Their “Privacy Notice” informs us that they reserve the right to share sensitive information (SS#, assets and income, health info, etc not only with their affiliates but also with other financial companies and that we have no recourse. Had we known this going in, we might have chosen to risk future cost increases above risking our confidential information being spread far and wide.”

“20+ years ago I used to work in this service industry. I thought I knew great service back then as I was part of the group to provide it. Fast forward to today. No tragedy to navigate, thankfully. Just me, saving my family added future headache in making arrangements for me. I made them. Today - when I'm perfectly able to do so. The staff is fantastic. Especially Tyler Waud. He took me through the current system of detailed arrangements. Easy, understandable, thorough, kind and thoughtful. I've got what's needed, my family will not have a single worry about final arrangements or wonder about my wishes. It's all there. I'm very grateful to be able to recommend Holman's without hesitation!!”

“Cameron and the other staff at Holman's took such good care of my mother and my family after my mother's unexpected passing. They demonstrated such professionalism, compassion, and understanding. After a quick phone call, they took care of everything. All contact was online or over the phone and they worked so quickly and professionally. I feel so much gratitude and highly recommend them.”
