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.

“The wraparound care from this family of people is literally unmatched. Ms. Sheila, I thank you and my family thank you for your loving care in the passing of our mother, Mary Cason. Such a fair price for the above and beyond support we received in preparing for the service. Or expectations were exceeded during the service and even after the photo memorial and guest book was ready when we left. There are many great funeral homes in this city, but Evergreen was exactly who my family needed in such a sad hard time.”

“My family and I recently had my fiancée's funeral service. Ms. Sheila and Travis did an extraordinary job with the funeral arrangements. From the beginning to fruition, the arrangements were beautiful! Ms. Shelia and Travis worked with us from the start of the plans to the finalization, making this whole process effortless. We thank you both for your kindness, patience, and love you exuded during the process with my dear Carlos. Evergreen is the place to lay your loved ones to rest. Ms. Shelia, Travis are a staple and vital piece of the Evergreen family, that is very much needed and rooted in the community. Ms. Sheila is like an extended mother, Travis is very professional and displays respect and diginity with dealing with your loved ones, and for that, I am eternally grateful!”

“We had a great experience. Ms. Sheila was great the owner. They really worked with my mom. She had no life insurance for her husband. But she was able to say good bye and get a cremation. Even though we couldn't afford a casket they still set him to where it was still nice. They even applied for her to get a 1,000 grant from the VA to help with cost that we had no idea about. Again very nice and affordable.”
