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 wasn’t expecting to be planning a funeral for my son. When I call Annalisa and told her when the time comes I want her to be in charge of my son arrangements. Our first meeting was so pleasant and resourceful . She was very up front and willing to honor all my wish. She made sure that everything was cost effective for my budget. She keep me posted on every detail throughout the process with the insurance company etc. Winfrey funeral home, captured all the details of my sons life throughout the entire process.I must say that my son funeral was like no other.From his viewing to his casket, even the day of the funeral was just amazing and beautiful.
