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.

“You would think a funeral home would help you in your time of loss. Not this place. They are WAY over priced and your loved ones aren’t even on site. They are at AR Central Mortuary in a crappy storage building. Additionally, if you call to discuss the issue and lack of communication they want to argue with you. I would give 0 if I could. Please save yourself the additional stress and send your loved one somewhere better.”

“At the worst time in your life, the loss of a loved one, you need people who care, people who listen. This has been our experience with Ashby’s Funeral Home from pre planning until the final arrangements. We could not have asked for more. Rhonda’s kindness and Chad’s patient assistance with our video presentation was a great comfort to my family. Thank you for everything.”
— TJ Melton
