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.

“I was so disappointed with the lady in general that is over Locklear & Son's Funeral Services!!!!! It was with my granny's burial in Sept of 2017. The lady rushed us with everything, especially when the family was leaving out viewing the body. Our cousin's wife is a Native from S.D and they do a blanket ceremony and it was like she had a problem with us doing that and was making crazy mean faces at her young Male employee right in front of us. They were not professional at all. I'm so hurt and disappointed!!! My grandmother and I loved Mr Sam and we always done business with him but this place is and will NEVER BE THE SAME!!! New management would be the best for his business because he wouldn't have liked the way we were treated if he were still here... So please everyone if you use them go over every detail and what you plan to do because even at the grave site she was so nasty and rude. grandmother grandmother”
