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 went to visit my husband’s and father in law’s grave yesterday due to it being the anniversary of their deaths. I was so disgusted with the condition of the cemetery. There had been no trimming done on any of the graves in this section for quite a while seeing as how the weeds were higher than most headstones. This is not just a field that gets mowed this is a place we have carefully selected and bought for our beloved family members to be honored and remembered. This is not how you honor the dead.”
— Christy Dickey
“We will be making this our final resting place. We have already purchased our site and have the headstone installed. We grew up in South Knoxville and have so many family and friends at Woodlawn. It's a very pretty place”
— GLR
“My husband and I went by today (5-24-24) to put flowers on our loved ones grave for Memorial Day. I was appalled at the appearance of the cemetery. The grass was so high and monuments had not been weedeated around. This cemetery used to be the prettiest in Knoxville, but not any more. This is so disrespectful to those buried there and their families.”
— Missy Maples
We file the life insurance claim and recover unclaimed property — the payout can help cover costs like these. $0 upfront.
