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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Damon and Cindy were wonderful in our time of need. At such a bad time we were treated with live and respect. Damon took extra time to check in on us before during and after the service we had for our son. We feel like we were treated like family. Our family moving forward will only use Hamlett Dobson. If you need these services I myself cannot express how good these folks really are. Please consider them. God Bless”

From the initial planning with Spencer to the final service with Damon and Debbie the entire staff of HD were very professional and comforting as they guided our family through the funeral process. There is no doubt who we will call when we need funeral services in the area...Hamlett-Dobson.”

“The Hamlet Dobson funeral home was the best decision I could've made for our son. Damon and his Amazing staff saw to every want or wish we had. The viewing room was beautiful and quiet,outside that room Our Son's favorite music was played. Damon and his staff are the most caring people I could have asked for. Even after Our son's been laid to rest Damon has kept in touch to see how we are doing. I would highly recommend Hamlett Dobson for your friend or loved one's Funeral needs.”
