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.

“There are no words that can truly express the gratitude my family and I feel for Wimberly Funeral Home. Losing my father, Jack Lamar Johnson, was the hardest moment of my life, and during that time of deep pain, they showed us nothing but compassion, patience, and love. They treated my father with the utmost dignity and respect, as if he were their own. Every step of the process was handled so gently and thoughtfully, and they never made us feel rushed or overwhelmed. Their kindness brought comfort to our family when we felt completely broken. Because of Wimberly Funeral Home, we were able to honor my father’s life in a beautiful and meaningful way. I will forever be thankful for the care they showed my father and for the support they gave our family during our darkest days. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants their loved one treated with true honor and care.”

“cannot express enough gratitude for the amazing service, love, and care that the Wimberly Funeral Home staff has shown to me and my family. Thank you for the dignity and compassion you extended to my late aunt, Mary E. Bailey. From day one of meeting with Mr. Chris Wimberly, to working with Mrs. F. Wimberly, and through every step of service from the moment of my aunt's pickup until the day of her memorial, the experience was truly outstanding. The personal phone call I received the morning of the memorial from Mrs. Wimberly brought me an unexpected sense of comfort and peace that I will always remember. Thank you, Wimberly Funeral Home, for carrying the love of God in your hearts and for serving families with such grace and compassion. - Kawanna Bailey”

“My experience with the personnel at Wimberly was fantastic! We miss our Mom but are so happy we made arrangements in advance with Wimberly. Administratively they are organized, communicate what is needed, when it is needed. Operationally, they received the call around 1:30am and arrived soon after. The personnel were very polite. They showed respect to our family, the household and clearly understood their role in this moment of grief we were experiencing so acutely. Other than wishing it all away, I could not have wished for anything better. Thank you Wimberly!”
