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.

“Where do I even start! My grandmothers funeral was a total dumpster fire. From WRONG CASKET! Wrong linen in the casket and wrong clothes and they called the cops on the family because “we were hostile” because they wanted to argue with us on what was selected. We have photos of the documents and the items themselves that were selected. This was a total and complete joke! They then forced the family to pay right then and there in full before having the service when a life insurance policy was to be turned over to them. I hope they go out of business. Or Atleast get someone in charge that can run a business!! Our grandmother did NOT deserve any of this nonsense!”

“My mother-in-law and many of her church friends were on a prepaid funeral plan in which Boyd's was the servicing provider. After contacting them for a month about setting up services while she was in hospice care out of state they never returned phone calls and only days before her passing did they contact us and were "friendly" but not at all helpful. We ended up having to use another provider in the area who genuinely cared about getting her services planned. Boyd's did not seem like a very ethical or empathetic company. I would not recommend them under any circumstances.”

“Boyd’s did not run the obituary our family submitted in the paper, and instead ran a very basic short obit. When we inquired about this they were very apologetic and gave us the option of running it the following week (after the services) for free or taking what we should have paid for the obituary we submitted off of the total. We felt this was fair and opted to run it the following week for free. When it came time to pay the bill they went back on their word, stating they could not afford to absorb that $1000 as their business was not doing well. It’s no surprise it’s not doing well if this is how they treat their clients. So disappointed in their lack of professionalism and ethics. Will never use again and do not recommend.”
