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.

“On the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States Marine Corps (I'm posting this review on November 10th, 2025), I wanted to share some pictures that I took while passing through Mobile in October 2025. Pinecrest Cemetery is the final resting place of Marines, and featured characters of The Pacific, Sidney Phillips and Eugene Sledge. The Pacific features Mr. Phillips' experience during the battle of Guadalcanal in 1942, and Dr. Sledge's later experience during the battles of Peleliu and Okinawa in 1944 and 1945, respectively. Following the war, Dr. Sledge would go to write perhaps the greatest WWII memoir ever published, "With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa". As somebody who never served in uniform, I'm extremely thankful that Dr. Sledge wrote his memoir in such detail that people like me can appreciate what these men went through, and the suffering they endured to ensure that others like myself can live in freedom and peace. God bless Mr. Phillips and Dr. Sledge, as well as all other Marines who served with such distinction and honor. Happy 250th Birthday Marines!”

“Pinecrest was the best in planning and working with our family with all the obstacles we faced. Having my Aunt transferred from Mississippi to Alabama and working with the family during our I e storm . Having to have multiple cancellations because of our traveling with the ice storm that we were dealing with in Mississippi. Their whole staff was phenomenal in helping us plan everything for my Aunts internment at Pine Crest Cemetery. Thanks to all of your great staff.”

“Well we didn’t have a funeral, we had the celebration of my husband’s life. He was cremated. Everyone at Pincrest Funeral Home was so kind. I was so amazed as to the coordinators style. She came to our home and got an idea who he was. She nailed it! They catered the food, which was awesome. They decorated the tables. My husband would have loved his services. While there I sign up for a service like him.”
