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.

“No one is ever really ready to handle things of this nature. However, Hancock Funeral Home Ltd it is their buisness. I have never ever had to deal with buring someone before they walked me through the entire process. There are no stupid questions I was told. Even through the tears of coming to grips wirh me never seeing my husband again I felt that he was in great hand with this company. I felt now I know there aren't enough words in the English Dictionary to describe my gratitude. I have already told my children my service will be at Hancock Funeral Home Ltd. From my family to yours I love you all.”

“I want to express my gratitude toward Harrison, his family and the Hancock F.H.. staff. My mother passed recently and I was referred to Hancock F.H.. Harrison immediately responded to our calls and displayed compassion, professionalism and kindness. The Hancock family treats you like family. They help you every step of the way during such a devastating and emotional time. While almost every other funeral home would take advantage of families at such a vulnerable time. The Hancock family does just the opposite, they understand what you are going through and help you in every possible way. They treat you and your deceased family member with dignity and care. They made the process affordable without compromising quality. Hancock F.H. are a credit to their industry. I highly recommend Hancock F.H. to those going through such an emotional period. Thank you, Harrison and Family.”
