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.

“From the time they arrived to take my dear old dad's body away in a gurney covered respectfully with an American flag because he was a WW2 Veteran to when we met to discuss the details to when we picked up his cremains and beyond, all staff at Lady Family Mortuary were so friendly and kind. I highly recommend their services.”
— Lynn Scott
“Margarita was kind, patient and empathetic from the moment I first spoke with her on the phone getting assistance with the care of my daughter and all the steps needed to see her remains were taken care of.. All of the employees I spoke with at Lady Family Mortuary were kind to me when I spoke with them. They all made a very difficult time for me bearable. I can’t thank them enough for all they did for me and would definitely recommend Lady Family Mortuary if/when a loved one who’s passed needs taken care of.”
— Linda Warren
“When my wife passed away suddenly, the staff at Lady Family were very caring. They presented her daughter & me with options for disposition of her remains. We appreciated not getting a hard sell for services or rushing us to make a decision. I was also pleasantly surprised with a text contact from Lady Family after a few months asking me how I was doing; they offered a link to resources they said might be helpful. I have been very lucky that I have not needed to make arrangements of this sort before, and I am glad Lady Family was there to help me”
