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.

“During one of the hardest times in our lives, this funeral home truly went above and beyond for our family. Candice was an absolute blessing. From the moment they picked my dad up the night he passed, all the way through the end of his service, she was so kind, compassionate, and attentive. She was always available to answer questions (no matter how small), and she made sure every detail of the memorial service was exactly how we wanted it. She genuinely cared. Something else that really stood out was their pricing. In such a vulnerable time, when it can feel like some places take advantage of grieving families, their costs were significantly more reasonable than many others we looked into. That kind of integrity speaks volumes. They aren't in the business to only make a profit. We actually used them back in 2008 when my grandmother passed away. We were so pleased with the care and service then that there was no question we would use them again for my dad. Once again, they exceeded our expectations. They are truly super sweet people who care deeply about the families they serve. I highly recommend them to anyone walking through loss. 💛”

“We were deeply impressed by the professionalism and kindness of Candice at the Casket company. She treated our family with genuine compassion and respect during a very difficult time. What stood out most was her honesty — she did not try to play on our emotions or upsell any services. Casket company’s pricing was also remarkably fair, at least half the cost of other funeral homes we checked in the Lakeland area. Later Our choice was confirmed our Church Bereavement folks said that casket company was wonderful to work with. We would highly recommend them to anyone in need of trustworthy and compassionate funeral service For a loved one.”

“On July 1st 2025, my wife of 40 years fell in our home and ended up with a brain bleed requiring brain surgery. My wife was in a coma for 4 days and we almost lost her then. I started to plan a funeral and contacted the Central Fl Casket Store and Funeral Chapel. Mike was a huge help going over the options and subsequent costs then my wife woke up and started her recovery. For the next 6 month my wife recovered, then suddenly on early morning of January 9th, 2026, I got an early morning call from the skilled nursing facility with the news my wife had passed. We reached out to Mike and arrangements were made for him to pick up my wife’s remains which was quick. The next morning Mike introduced me to Candice who immediately took over. We spent next to no time finalize all arrangements. We are retired military and we had already planned to be laid to rest at the Fl National Cemetery in Bushnell, FL. My wife’s transportation to the National Cemetery was seamless. The cost and whole process from the start to finish was superb. I highly encourage those in need of a funeral to please look into what Central Fl Casket Store and Funeral Chapel has to offer….Thank you Mike and Candice.”
