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.

“Ozella Foster Funeral Home exceeded my expectations with professional and compassionate service. They did the service for my son and it was beautiful. I told them my budget and they gave me services that was below my budget. Ms Foster counseled me and explained everything to me. I told them my son loved the Rams and they created everything around that. I've worked with many funeral homes over the years, but Ozella Foster exceeded them all. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them.”
