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.

“Words are inadequate to express my gratitude to Casey & Edward for the wonderful work that they did in removing and replacing my grandfather’s, John Hupage Bridges, military headstone in the Belton Creek Cemetery today!! They were very professional, prompt, courteous, considerate and generous! The love and concern they demonstrate for veterans is something we can all strive to emulate. May God continue to bless them in all of their endeavors.”
— Linda Hester
“No one wants to need the services of a funeral home, but losing a loved one is a fact of life. From the initial contact with Casey when my mother was placed in hospice care to the funeral weeks later, the process was handled with care and dignity. It is such a relief to have someone say, "I can handle that," with all of the details. Hairdresser, pastor, visitation here and funeral at the gravesite out of town... Everything was taken care of. They have been in business in Oxford for such a long time because they do things right. I recommend without any reservation.”
— Seth Stallings
“Casey the funeral director provided the best care for our family and my father after his unexpected passing. She went above and beyond to ensure our needs and wants were met. Casey was compassionate, communicative, and supportive during the hardest time of our life. On behalf of my family I would like to thank all staff at this funeral home for their time and compassion during this hard time.”
— Kaitlyn Clark
