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.

“Sadly I lost 2 parents 7 weeks apart. We entrusted our parents final good bye to the care of Singletons. From the initial phone call the kind caring voice on the other end was nothing but professional and caring. I felt like my folks were in good hands. We had a traditional service including a church service before burial. The team at singletons worked with us to get the church and cemetery lined up on our preferred day. Our parents looked amazing. Our family was greeted upon arrival with kind, tender caring funeral directors. I would highly recommend my loved ones into their care.”

“The staff at Singleton's were so compassionate, thorough and extremely accommodating. We have used Singleton's a few times before and have always been pleased with their services. They've always done a great job with taking great care to have the loved one look like the reference picture. And I was incredibly surprised how great my mom looked (she did look even better than the picture)! My mom had been sick for a long time, and she looked like she did when she was healthy. Which is what we hoped for! The viewings and service went effortlessly. Thank you for making a difficult time less stressful and easy to navigate. Our family appreciated everything the Singleton's family did for our sweet mom, grandmother.”
— Michele Regert
“Singleton's staff have my utmost respect and sincere gratitude for all their assistance, guidance and genuine concern for the needs of my family in planning my Mom's funeral. That day was beautiful and everything went smoothly. My family has used Singleton's services for years and will continue so in the future.”
— Terri Sheaffer
