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.

“THIS experience with Alexander Funeral Home was ABSOLUTELY TOP SHELF... TOP TIER & could NOT have been ANY BETTER. We had to lay my sweet mother to rest on January 11, 2026. She was 97. Ms. Coleman and her ENTIRE STAFF were/are IMMEASURABLY THOROUGH & KIND at the same time. Ms. Coleman's guidance through this very difficult process CANNOT be praised enough. She is a GEM. She runs a TIGHT SHIP & WELL OILED MACHINE at Alexander. My mother wanted to use them for herself after they did a STELLAR job twice before with my oldest brother in 2019 & my father in 2021. We ran into a Lil glitch with my mom's life insurance company... but Ms. Coleman EASILY guided us in working that out EASY PEASY. I want to ALSO give SPECIAL THANKS to Brenda Garner at the front desk who was BEYOND HELPFUL in ANY details that we needed for ANYTHING. Also, Lakina Gleaton was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME in carrying out the duties of the funeral service... from driving the car to the facilitating of the service. Sharon Lewis, the funeral director for my mom's service was THOROUGH & KIND & 2nd to NONE. Lastly, Ms. Coleman gave us WONDERFUL ideas to add a special touch to honor my mom's personality & style AT the funeral. People are STILL talking about it. BOTTOM LINE... Alexander Funeral Home DID NOT MISS A BEAT. You WILL NOT BE disappointed if you use their services. THANK YOU AGAIN from the Martin family to Alexander Funeral Home & Ms. Coleman & her ENTIRE TEAM.”

“This a great review from the Morris Family with great appreciation to the Alexander Funeral Home family. You’ve been our source of comfort and support for several family members (Willie&Vera Howze, John& Lillian Morris, George ,Thomas Eugene ,Kelly and most recently our Queen (Ida E.Morris). I’ve watched my family burying love ones from a very young age and it was always with Alexander, now that I’ve been mostly responsible for doing the same for family members I totally understand why your services was the best for everything that was needed. I can’t express how much Max now means to our family because he was at our every beacon call and did it with the upmost respect. He remembers that we’re Uncle John’s family and always use it with so much admiration for how Uncle John did things. Once again we appreciate all your hard work and loving support. Respectfully, Janice Morris on behalf of the Morris Family”
