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 really don’t know how this place continues to stay open. I placed an order at 3 o’clock in the afternoon for pick up between five and six. The item I ordered said it had four on the shelf. In the email, it told me to not show up until I had received an email that my item was ready. Since I was scheduled for pick up between five and six and had not received an email by 630, I decided to go in . Come to find out, the lady working in the front counter did not even know that there had been an order that came in. She said, even if she had known she wouldn’t have known how to pull the order to begin with. I told her what the SKU was and she still couldn’t find what I was looking for, and I told her that I would just go pull the item off the shelf. I walked back there with two employees and found the item immediately. There was not a single customer in the store and no cars in the parking lot. And nobody knows how to pull an online order. How do they stay in business?”

“I went to Sutherland on Saturday to look at furniture. I was assisted by a very nice lady named Audrey. Audrey took her time with me I didn't feel rushed. I went to a couple other furniture stores. But I went back to Sutherlands and waited for Audrey to come back from lunch.So that she could help me with the process of buying the furniture.She was so nice and kind. The service was above and beyond. Thanks Audrey for the new furniture.”
