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.

“HORRIFIC Experience! I would have given Zero if I could!! I see most good reviews are older Well mine is Recent !! 2 weeks ago! Very BAD Experience!! No Comfort or compassion shown for our family’s loss of my wonderful brother 😢 He deserved so much more! And a funeral director surely doesn’t need to discuss other clients who have passed away and their condition at death while you are making your arrangements for your loved one!! Such a Terrible and Cold place now, but it didn’t used to be. Needless to say we are NEVER going back there! We went to Colbert to finalize my brothers business so we wouldn’t have to go here again! Also: The day of what was supposed to be a “viewing” we had about 20 family members there with us and Did NOT get a viewing before cremation as we had ask for! We saw him in the tiny makeup room in bad condition in which we will never forget and forgive them for ! Our families could not believe the Situation we were dealing with and the Coldness of the Staff! 💔 I hope and pray no one else has to endure what we did 🙏🏻”

“Funeral director yelled at us while finalizing our mother's funeral. That was 4 years ago. Still remember it like it was yesterday. Joel Daugherty had to finish the job because of this jerk. Just don't. If you do, you get what you deserve.”

“How do I begin 😔 Very Unprofessional, very Rude, No Compassion! I pray that no family has to experience what mine did ! Expecting to see your loved one in a private dignified viewing before cremation only to be lead to a cold unfeeling Makeup Room with his body lying on a steel table , clothed in what was sent by family , not draped with a blanket or cloth of any kind! No apologies, no discussion on what went wrong with the arrangements , just a constant verbal of "extra cost money" Which had been discussed and decided by family when they made the arrangements with Greenview! I am sorry the employees there have lost all their care and compassion for people but I believe if that is the case they should not be in that business!!!!”
