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.

“We had a great experience using River Glenn for my Dad’s memorial service. Lance was super helpful along the way helping us figure out everything we wanted and never made us feel pressured to make decisions and allowed us time to make decisions as a family. Zenda and Riley helped us decorate and even stayed with us for a while to make sure everything looked perfect. They were super accommodating, the facilities were really pretty and affordable. Highly recommend them!!”

“Nothing but great things to say about River Glenn ! My dad lived in Fort Smith , I live in Florida , his health turned bad fast , and I had to make arrangements from out of state. Zenda helped me so much , making the arrangements , and keeping me in the loop every step of the way , from the time that my dad was taken into River Glenns care, until his ashes were sent to me. Informative, kind and compassionate. Exactly what you need while going through a loss and trying to navigate everything . Heart felt thanks to all of the folks at River Glenn”
