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.

“I would like to start off by saying this was one of the hardest times for my fiancé and his family losing his mother but when we found out Mrs. Natalie took amazing care of her it turned tears of sadness into happiness. The customer service is outstanding, the energy and patience is nothing less than amazing💕. She did exactly what she promised and made sure that everything they needed was given. I have never thought about doing cremation for any one but she really made me reconsider. You you guys ever lose a loved one and feel lost this is the place to go and feel lost this is the place to go. She makes you feel like family away from family. I loved her! Thank you so much”

“The team at SWGA Cremation & Funeral Services assisted our family in our time of need. Our mother passed at home on a Sunday evening, within an hour of speaking with me, the SWGA team was there, handling her and all of us with kindness and compassion. Our mother had requested cremation but Natalie was able to work with us to make sure that all of her seven children and our father were able to say goodbye together on Wednesday. She also helped each of us have a keepsake memorial. She was comforting, compassionate, and felt like another sister by the time we said goodbye. She laughed and cried with us during the times we spent with her. I highly recommend her and the entire team.”
