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.

“My mother passed away on Thanksgiving week, and Farris Funeral Service did an incredible job serving our family and helping walk us through the process. William Denton was wonderful helping us with the details, and setting up everything for us. He was able to bring smiles to all our faces during a sad time for us. We had an issue with the insurance company my mother had policies with, but Farris Blackburn handled all the forms, phone calls, and emails for us, and worked it out perfectly. Everyone we dealt with was wonderful, and they made a difficult time so much easier for us to navigate through. Thanks to everyone!”

“During an incredibly difficult time—made even more challenging by complex family dynamics—the staff at Farris Funeral Home was nothing short of exceptional. Their compassion, professionalism, and calm presence never wavered. One thing that set them apart was their ability to read the room: when appropriate, they gently inserted moments of lighthearted humor that provided much-needed relief, eased tension, and helped calm nerves without ever feeling out of place or disrespectful. They handled every situation with grace, discretion, and genuine care, ensuring that the focus remained on honoring our loved one with dignity and respect. It was clear they were experienced not just in logistics, but in people. We are deeply grateful for the kindness and steadiness they provided when it was needed most. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a funeral home that truly leads with empathy and professionalism.”
