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.

“We had the most stress-free, organized, loving experience by Julia Collins at Charlotte Memorial Gardens in Charlotte NC. She is patient and will go the extra mile for families in times of bereavment. Julia took the time to call to check on our family, reminded us of important steps when planning a funeral, and her experience is impressive. She knows her stuff, she's humble and really care about people in general. I would highly recommend her services and this cemetary to everyone, you will not be disappointed. We need more people like her in the world during these trying times. Thanks for your continuous efforts and support. Sincerely, Lillie Mcclinton, Angela Wilson and family”

“I can’t say enough kind words about the staff here, particularly Pamela. We had to bury my dad unexpectedly and she jumped right into action making herself available at all times during the day to answer questions and make things easier for my family. I appreciate her from the bottom of my heart and would hands down refer anyone to her for assistance with a burial.”

We are grateful.”
