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.

“Alexander Funeral Home in Taylorsville, NC assisted our family with pre-planning arrangements for our Mother, as well as final arrangements. At every step, customer service was a priority, answering every question, even when we didn’t know what to ask. Communication was excellent and we felt we could call anytime. Was really impressed that we were contacted after my Mom passed to offer assistance in any way to help the family through the grief process. Highly recommend this Funeral Home!!”
