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.

“A Family Business who treats customers like Family! My family has used Heath’s for the last 50 years and I now know why. The kindness, compassion, and love, the staff at Heath offers is what sets them apart. From the moment you walk through the door, until you walk away from the final resting place, you will find yourself surrounded by comfort, understanding, and an unyielding sense of love. My Mother recently died and I found myself trying to navigate through her final plans alone. Jeremy, Zac, and the 3 AMAZING ladies in the office, made one of the hardest times of my life, stress free. Whether it was to ask questions or change the service details, it was like talking to a relative. As a child, I remember Mr. Butch Heath, and the many times he sat with my grandma and grandpa over the years. Having chosen Heath for my mother’s funeral, I had the honor of seeing him again as an adult. Mr Heath’s devotion to be a beacon of hope and love for those who feel lost, was passed down to his sons.”

“Heath treated us like family. They are top notch professionals. They were there for us as soon as I lost my mother. They were caring through the process and checked on us after the funeral. Heath made the process as seamless as possible. They delivered everything to us as well. Our family will exclusively use Heath in the future.”
— Ben Gander

Please check them out. Tammy D”
