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.

“Dealing with this funeral home has been the biggest thorn in my side. My father passed April 2023, we STILL have not gotten his head stone. Larry and his son, Jeremy, are extremely hard to deal with. They will promise you return calls or emails, but you will never receive them. They are both full of empty promises and just completely unprofessional. Turns out, my dad passed around the same time that Larry had his run-in with the law on Natchez Trace, so my father's headstone never even actually got ordered. They have continually been unable to provide me the original receipts of when it was ordered. I have been there in person, via phone, via emails, still nothing. Please avoid this funeral home to save yourself the headache that is dealing with the Parkers!”
