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.

“Losing my dad in October was one of the most heartbreaking experiences of my life, but the team at Lowcountry — especially Mr Coakley Hilton—helped carry us through with such compassion and grace. From the first phone call to the final farewell, they treated my family like their own. Mr Hilton was patient, gentle, and incredibly thoughtful—never rushing us, always listening, and somehow anticipating what we needed before we even knew how to ask. In a moment filled with grief, confusion, and pain, he brought peace and clarity. Every detail of my dad’s arrangements was handled with care and dignity, allowing us to focus on honoring him without being overwhelmed by logistics. It’s rare to feel truly seen and supported during such a raw time, but that’s exactly what we felt. I’ll never forget that kindness. Thank you, Coakley, and thank you to the entire team for helping us say goodbye with love and grace.”

“Mr. Christopher Burgess made my aunts homegoing very memorable. This young man is very kind and listens to our needs. Mr. Christopher had my entire family in good spirits, taking our minds of the passing. Also to another family that was visiting a loved one. He made the arrangements very understanding and we did not feel like we were being scammed. He also was nice reminding me I forgot to send him the obituary information and pictures. Everything was very professional and done without my family questing him. We forgot to order flowers and he had that covered also. I was shocked to find out he’s no longer with Hilton anymore and at Shepherd’s Funeral home because I truly saw him as the next up for Hilton. Hilton gets a 5 because of Mr. Christopher time and compassion. Thank you”

“Low Country Mortuary (Coakley Hilton) and staff were absolutely wonderful. The passing of my mom, has proven to be the most difficult time in my life. I’ve never been in a position to handle funeral arrangements, so of course I didn’t know where to start. Mr Hilton helped me every step of the way. Outlining everything that needed to be done step by step, but with a sense of Loving Compassion for my loss and respect and Dignity for my mom. As difficult as this has been, the help I received from Low Country Mortuary, helped tremendously. I felt as if they were apart of my family and that helped put my mind at ease, knowing I was being well taken care of”
