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.

“The hospitality and transparency that Dunn Family Funeral Home provides is of the utmost quality. I communicated with Terry regarding the next steps after a death in the family. He was extremely upfront about every step we talked about and made sure we understood what we were doing and what every cost meant. He was very understanding of our family situation and didn’t make us feel pressured to hold a service or pay any unnecessary fees. My experience with Dunn Family Funeral Home showed me that they put their patrons first and take in account any needs they may have.”

“When you have to set up arrangements for a parent, the words are hard to come by. What do you say when they answer the phone? I found myself in this position and was silent… I literally could not figure out how to tell them that my mother passed away and we needed somewhere to bring her… Maradee answered the phone at the Dunn family funeral home and she walked me through the process. I’m not even sure that I responded to her questions when she answered, but she was able to get me through and everything was effortless— which is what exactly I what I needed at that time. They took care of everything seamlessly for my mother’s service; it was beautiful. I would highly recommend the Dunn family funeral home and Maradee everyday ❤️”
