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 is one of the most beautiful funeral homes I have been to. Their service and spaces for the family are unparalleled. After attending a funeral for a family Ky member, I would highly recommend them to anyone. They will take good care of you”

“At a rather difficult time, I shopped around and learned Slater is a trustworthy name. They were a big help at a good price, unlike some large corporate-owned competitors.”

“There are no words to express my appreciation for the extraordinary level of service that Chris Ross, Josh and their entire team did for our Moms funeral. It is such a difficult time when you are going through this process and beyond but this team has and continues to go above and beyond with care, compassion, attention to detail, no request denied and in the most spectacular funeral home that my Mom would have loved to know she was in for her family and friends to be received. In addition to the attention to detail with the funeral we used their banquet style private room where they provided staff to set up our catered lunch which was also so important to my Mom. I am very hard to impress and I would not hesitate to recommend that you use their team for the most difficult time in your life, my husband and I already stated out loud we would never go anywhere else. Thank you for your kindness and care you showed to our family it will never be forgotten.”
