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.

“Losing my Dad was so very hard for me and my family. Dr. Richardson and his staff was such a blessing to work with. We had challenges that could have made everything even more difficult but having Dr. Richardson and his staff's support by stepping in relieved a lot of pressure. Our service turned out great and everything was beautiful. My Dad was cremated but doing the veiwing service it was so amazing how much he looked like himself and happy all I could do was cry and smile because I know he went home and was at peace. Thank you to The Richardson Group for all the love and support you gave my family.”

“Dr. Richardson and his staff were amazing from start to finish. They ensured I was taken care of and all my needs were met to lay my beloved husband to rest. Dr. Richardson helped me through one of the most difficult things I have ever had to deal with especially doing it alone and I can’t thank him enough for his professionalism and awesome job of making my husband look at peace. I would recommend The Richardson’s Group to anyone. Thank you Dr. Derryck Richardson ❤️ From The Bridge’s Family.”

“My family only has good things to say about Dr. Derryck Richardson, Sr. and the services rendered by The Richardson Group Funerals & Cremations Inc. My mother passed away in April 2023. Without hesitation, The Richardson Group was selected because they provided exceptional services for our father's funeral in 2008. However, living out of state, I was unaware of the financial problems the Richardson Group encountered in the past. After being made aware of the circumstances, we were hesitant to move forward with arrangements. Our family entertained the idea of switching funeral homes but decided to follow through with The Richardson Group. When Derryck was made aware of our concerns, he openly and honestly addressed the issues, assuring us that the very best professional services would be provided. And he was true to his word! My family was extremely happy with all aspects of the funeral services provided. As a result, without any reservations, we highly recommend The Richardson Group Funerals & Cremations Inc. Everyone deserves a second chance! Judy Anders”
