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.

“I went through Price Helton Funeral twice as my parents set their funeral arrangements with them. The first time was for my father and the employee very helpful and considerate in going through the funeral plans. The employee was very helpful and gave us time to go through the arrangements and she also communicated with everyone that needed to be contacted. The second time we went through this funeral place did not turn out as pleasant. This person was being trained and didn't seem to know what she was suppose to do. The person we had worked with before was not available for my mother's arrangements and there was limited staff at that time. I would recommend going through Price Helton Funeral Home. Just make sure you work with someone who has the experience.”

“From start to finish during the difficult process of saying goodbye to our mother, the entire staff treated us with care and handled everything we needed to be done. Truly blessed to have had them work with us. Thank you!”
