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.

“If you’re looking for compassion and care in the handling of your loved ones final resting, love elsewhere. The most unprofessional, unempathetic,disingenuous bunch of LIARS this side of the Mississippi. My grandmother was to be laid to rest in Iuka yesterday at 10AM. We were to be present for burial. Morrison put her in the ground at 9:40AM with NO ONE present. When we arrived at 10, the Morrison representative was EXTREMELY unapologetic and said, “I’m sorry but what we discussed and what was is writing were two different things.” Yes, that’s a direct quote. Along with, “what do you want us to do about it now? Whether she was in the ground at 9:40 or 10:00 what difference does it make?” He then proceeded to LAUGH at us with the grounds keeper (who did not return his sentiments) and when the pastor arrived, he BOASTED of his treachery and our reaction. What arrogance. So if you want a funeral home who cares, listens, honors agreements, has decorum, class, and operates honestly, Morrison is NOT the funeral home for you!”
