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.

“Griffth Cline was amaizing during the recent loss of my precious husband. They took care of so many things that I did not realize needed to be done. Thankfully, my husband did preneed when we married 23 years ago. What a blessing! It is truly the best thing that you can do for your family. Allen and Julie have been so kind to check on me. I know that when my time comes and The Lord calls me Home, I will be in good hands and my Son will be blessed to know that things are in place for me.”
