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 contacted Milner & Orr in the first half of February regarding funeral arrangements for my brother. I spoke with Susan initially. She was very sympathetic and helpful, explaining their product offerings. Next, I spoke with Brandon, after my brother passed. He also was very sympathetic and helpful. He explained how my brother would be cared for by their staff, and assisted me with the paperwork that needed to be completed. When I arrived to take possession on my brother’s cremains, Ashley was there to help me finish the process. The entire staff at Milner & Orr were very caring and professional during this difficult time. I would recommend their services to everyone. Thank you Milner & Orr!”

“In 2008 my nephew passed away in a drowning accident. Milner and Orr covered the cost of his funeral completely. Which ill never forget. Sadly we have had to use them many more times since then but just the gracious act of covering my nephews funeral meant so much. They are good people. Just taking the strain off my family of funeral cost for a child meant the world. We have had my brother, my daddy, and just a few days ago my sisters funeral. They go above and beyond to help. I hope to not to need them again any time soon but they are good people.”

“Milner & Orr made a very difficult time in our lives manageable with care and compassion. This not our first experience with them and should we require these type of services in the future they will be our first. Everyone that we communicated with there was caring and addressed all of our questions. Thanks again for your support!”
