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.

“Our beloved daughter passed away suddenly at age 35. It caught everyone off guard and put us in shock. Berry Funeral Home guided us through a very difficult time with compassion. They did a superb job. Chaney Palmer is the director and she was totally professional and detail oriented, even though she too was touched by the tragedy we were going through. These people deal with death everyday, but are not hardened to it. We celebrate the 35 years God gave us with our very special, energetic, spiritual daughter and know we will be reunited. It will be our most joyous reunion.”
— Kevin Banker
“Berry Funeral Home has been used many times within our family and they always do a great job at helping through the process with support, and kindness. This was the first time I had to use them on my own, for my mother. I was blessed my mother had most of her arrangements already in place, especially the fact she had the casket picked out. Something I probably would not of been able to handle very well. I met with Wendy Miller to guide me through everything else. She was wonderful support for me and helped me so much with organizing everything else. She even helped me with flowers and kept in touch with me for all the questions and help I needed for everything. She was such a blessing for me. The funeral home did such a wonderful job on making my mother look so good. In fact, I had not seen her look that good in many months. I was so pleased. I always thought that when people said looking at someone in a casket , "they look good" was about the dumbest thing I had ever heard but after watching my mother go down and looking so different, I understand. I couldn't believe how good she looked and yes I said, "she looked good". I cannot thank Berry's enough for that. Berry's got the death certificates very fast and reported to Social Security about my mother's passing, which was helpful. Berry's didn't just stop after my mother was buried, I have had several follow-up calls since the funeral to see how I was doing and to let me know they are there for me. I can't thank Berry's Funeral Home and the staff for all their kindness.”
