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.

“Michael Steele was very helpful when he assisted my aunt with her pre paid arrangements. He answered all of her questions and left her with peace of mind that her wishes will be carried out. I left with a very good feeling also when Michael assisted me pre paying my own cremation. It had been on my mind and I was relieved to know that Magnolia South offered that service. I have only heard complimentary things about them. I recommend them highly! My mother also plans to use them for her funeral.”
