Questions to Ask When You Call
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.

“Aikens Funeral Home in Tampa went above and beyond during one of the hardest moments of my life. After my mother passed away, they treated her with the utmost dignity, respect, and care, and supported our family every step of the way. I want to give special recognition to Eugenia Jackson, who helped embalm my mom and handled all of the complicated paperwork and logistics needed to transport her to Lebanon for a proper burial. This process could have been overwhelming, but Eugenia was professional, and incredibly thorough. She made sure everything—from the documentation to the airline ticket—was completed correctly and on time, giving us peace of mind during an incredibly painful period. The entire staff showed genuine care, patience, and understanding. I am deeply grateful for their support and kindness, and I highly recommend Aikens Funeral Home to anyone in need of compassionate and trustworthy service. Thank you for taking such good care of my mom and our family when we needed it most.”
