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.

“The moment I walked into Cox Funeral Home, I was greeted with empathy, compassion, and kindness. Kristin funeral director and the staff welcomed me with open arms, and immediately eased my worries. I had traveled from Pennsylvania after the sudden passing of my father, and they handled everything with such dignity, respect, and patience. In one of the most difficult moments of my life, they made the process so much easier and gave me peace of mind. Their professionalism and heartfelt care made all the difference. I will forever be grateful for the comfort and support and kindness they provided, and I highly, highly recommend Cox Funeral Home to any family in need. Its not just a business, the staff members are very caring. They provide quality customer service care.”

“This was my first time to plan a funeral for a close loved one, so I was very apprehensive. After meeting and talking with Tara Stanley and Brandon Wunner for about 15 minutes my anxiety was lifted and filled with true compassion and kindness. We didn't use there chapel because we expected a large turnout, so Tara did an amazing job arranging a very touching venue. I will never forget Tara's true compassion and tireless work in very trying times.”
— Michael Long
“Brandon was so kind and helped me through a very difficult time by patiently guiding me through the steps necessary to make final arrangements for my loved one. I felt cared for, understood, and very comfortable with his guidance. He accommodated me through all of the process and I can't begin to thank him enough.”
