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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Older cemetery with a lot of history tied to the African American community. This is a non-perpetual care cemetery, meaning loved ones must come and provide care to the headstones & surrounding areas. Also called Sand Hill Cemetery. It is located on Knowles Road off of Spring Hill, you turn onto a very narrow residential road alongside the Zion Church. The cemetery is surrounded by an older residential area and the woods. Some areas appear maintained, other, older graves are nearly hidden by the wooded areas. I do not recommend wearing any open-toed shoes, there are snakes, I also saw turtles, squirrels, a rabbit, and a bobcat. Road in is dirt and uneven, watch for sudden drops.”
