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.

“This place has been a major headache after both my grandparents passed. We paid a extra $300 for a death date and it still hasn’t been placed 2 and a half years later. Got multiple invoices for $5000+ which should have been covered by a insurance company but Weldon does not do any of the paperwork to get the claim paid. Presented us bills during the funeral proceedings. This place is bad business.”
— Bryan Carter
“Was very unhappy with the unprofessional nature of an employee named joel who claimed to be part owner of the buisness only to find out hes just a regular employee who needs to learn how to use proper language in front of women and children. God forbid having to endure burying another loved one during this uncertain and arduous time I hope the next time it will be at Grisell Funeral home so my daughter won't have another new word in her vocabulary. God Bless”
