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.

“Bobby Brown has serviced my family for decades, I’m so grateful that he now has his own mortuary. He and his daughter (Jessica) are amazing. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. The place is immaculate!!! Thanks so much for the time given to my siblings and I, as we prepared to lay our brother to rest. I was a BEAUTIFUL service.”

“An Unforgettable Service with Compassion and Excellence Losing my daughter was the most devastating experience of my life, but B.E. Brown’s Mortuary—Mr. Brown, his daughter Jessica, and their exceptional staff—helped me carry the weight of that moment with grace, dignity, and compassion. From the very first meeting, their professionalism was evident and unwavering. They handled every detail with care—from receiving my daughter’s body from Georgia to preparing her for viewing—taking so much stress off of my shoulders. Their facility is both welcoming and beautiful. I was able to hold her wake in one of their intimate viewing rooms, and her funeral in their stunning sanctuary. I provided them with photos and music, and they seamlessly created a slideshow that honored her life in the most touching way. And the obituaries—they were absolutely breathtaking. I’ve never seen anything like them—elegant, heartfelt, and beautifully designed. Though I’m originally from Mobile, I no longer live there, and I could not figure bd a singer in such short notice. Jessica went above and beyond and found a vocalist who sang so beautifully that it brought many of us to tears. B.E. Brown’s Mortuary truly feels like a one-stop-shop for everything needed during such a difficult time. The only thing missing is a space for the repass—but even with that, they guided me with helpful suggestions. I am beyond grateful for their kindness, their attention to detail, and their dedication to excellence. If you’re ever in need of funeral services that honor your loved one with love, professionalism, and care, look no further than B.E. Brown’s Mortuary. ~ A grieving mother”
