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.

“On behalf of the late Everett Jerome Smith, our families the Smiths and O'Neails would like to thank the entire Ross Mortuary family for taking care of all of our needs and. Upon entering Ross we were greeted with a smile and that made a huge difference. Mr. Loche listened to us and was very patient with us because that first visit we were so overwhelmed and was all over the place with emotions. It wasn't just about business with the staff, but we felt the empathy that was shown and it was genuine. Having to plan a loved ones Homegoing Celebration service that was tragically taken from us was very painful and unimaginable. Everett's casket spray was beautiful and done beyond our expectation. Thanks to Kenneth Wright for always taking care of family. The communication between Ross and Paradise/Cemetery Beautiful to get our beloved laid to rest by our nephew was a Godsend because they are right next to each other space 5 and 6. Our God is awesome and He showed us so much favor during this difficult. Again thank you Ross Mortuary for easing the burden.💙💙💙🤍🤍🤍”
