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.

“Our family recently said goodbye to my Dad, a Veteran, and this funeral home made the entire process so much more bearable than we ever imagined. The entire staff was warm, understanding, and genuinely caring- every step of the way. Laura was incredible. She was kind, attentive, and compassionate; she was a true comfort during our grief. The military honors were beautifully done, full of respect and precision, and created a powerful, and peaceful tribute that perfectly honored my Dad's life and service. They paid close attention to all the details that mattered to us and kept everything dignified and meaningful. This was the best experience we could have hoped for during such a difficult time. We are deeply grateful-thank you!”

“They were quick to respond. We were able to take care of all details including gravesite burial in less than a week. They also created an interactive web page where we could link to social media sites to notify friends and family of details, flowers, donations and upload photos and share memories.”

“Beyond Exceptional Service In a time of profound grief, the team at Whitehurst-Norton-Dias Funeral Service, and especially our Funeral Director, Laura Rodriguez, provided a comforting and truly exceptional experience that we will never forget. From our very first conversation, Laura was a beacon of kindness and warmth. Her professionalism was matched only by her genuine, human compassion, which made navigating the logistics of the service feel less daunting. Her communication was superb—clear, prompt, and always delivered with thoughtful consideration for what our family was going through. She consistently went above and beyond her role to ensure every detail was perfect. The service for my beloved dad was exactly what we had envisioned, a beautiful tribute to his life. Seeing him at rest, he looked so peaceful, which brought a final, deep comfort to our hearts. The entire staff at the service was both sentimental and highly professional, creating an atmosphere that was respectful and supportive for all our guests. We could not have asked for a better experience under the circumstances. The care provided by Whitehurst-Norton-Dias helped us honor my husband’s memory in the most beautiful way. Our deepest gratitude goes out to Laura and the entire staff.”
