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.

“I would like to thank Jon Jr, especially for all his hard work and dedication with helping out family with our Gramma/Mother’s very sudden passing. Without you and your team, our arrangements would have been a lot more messy to say the least. You have all really gone out of your way in our time of need and I truly believe my Gramma Patty would be pleased with everything!! So once again thank you to Jon Jr and your staff for all your hard work and determination in helping our visions come to light ! We just can not thank you enough!!!!”

“I honestly can’t say enough good things about River Cities Funeral Chapel. They made me feel cared for during one of the hardest times of my life. Everyone there was so kind, warm, and empathetic—it felt like they truly understood what I was going through. They never tried to upsell me on anything, and I was charged very fairly, which gave me such peace of mind. I’m beyond grateful for the compassion and support they showed my family.”
— Christina Richardson
“Mr. Daniel is kind and considerate of your fragile, emotional condition when he helps you plan your service. He listens and at no time tried to hard sell or up sell the service you picked. I would never consider going anywhere else for funeral services. River City is a real gem. We are blessed to have them in our community!”
— Linda Myler
