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.

“Here’s a polished, heartfelt review you can post as-is or tweak if you want it shorter or more formal: ⸻ I am deeply grateful to Forest Park South Funeral Home and especially Latonya Smith for the care, compassion, and professionalism she showed while helping me plan a beautiful memorial for my husband, John. Latonya made an incredibly difficult time feel manageable. Being able to host both the memorial service and the repass in the same beautiful facility lifted a huge burden off my shoulders and allowed our family to focus on honoring John rather than logistics. She also arranged a quick, private viewing that gave us the opportunity to see my husband before his cremation—something that meant more to our family than words can express. That moment brought a sense of peace and closure that we truly needed. Latonya’s kindness, patience, and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. She treated my husband and our family with dignity and respect every step of the way. Thank you, Latonya, for helping us honor John so beautifully. Your work truly matters, and it shows.”
