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.

“We were absolutely UNprepared for making end of life plans. So we prayed and asked God to help us and He lead us straight to Rosewood. A real person answered the phone and she couldn’t have been more able and willing to walk with us through the process. From the very beginning of our journey, Rosewood was available, honest, helpful and encouraging. They thoughtfully helped us know what we didn’t know which we found invaluable. When Mamaw passed, the service we received in our home when she was taken away touched us the most. He was not only prompt, but more importantly he was so kind, friendly and so very respectful of her and of us. We heard him speak to her so tenderly as he escorted her away. I don’t ever want to forget that.”

“My father was a direct cremation. I was able to take care of everything from out of state, from starting the process when he went into hospice to having his remains picked up be a family member in state. The whole process and costs were very straight forward and the staff, Genia and Elizabeth, have been both professional and very caring and supportive. My family has used Bob Neal and Sons in another town for a couple generations now, so I was not surprised when my father asked for Rosewood here. They were amazing in our time of need.”
