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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Please please PLEASE, if you truly love your deceased family member, stay far away from this place! The inside is an absolute dump, with junk EVERYWHERE. The office where they conduct business is old, dusty and packed full with junk. It’s hard to think about funeral arrangements when you’re surrounded by old books and stacks of papers. The ceremony area was also junky The bearded lady, Ms. King is a rude and nasty old woman that only cares about taking your money. She has no interest in providing your deceased loved one with a dignified homegoing. I don’t understand why this place is still in business. I wish I knew better but grief makes it difficult to make sound decisions. If you care about giving your loved one a proper and dignified funeral, seek elsewhere!”

“Worst funeral home to send your loved one to. They are not reliable at all. They want your money but really do not know what they are doing. They relied on someone else to do their work. They did not take care of my mother ..This place is not fit for your love ones. They just need to go out of business. I regretted putting my mom in there every day that I am on this earth.”

“My beloved grandmother passed on 6/18/25 and King's was recommended as being able to get her body to Liberia, West Africa. They talked a good game and 100% dropped the ball. My grandma's body will finally be arriving on 8/1 for her home going. She was finally able to get home after they outsourced to have her shipping arrangements finalized. If you are getting a loved one shipped to another country this is not the funeral home to use. The convinced us they have done these particular services for YEARS and getting her home will not be an issue. THEY HAD NO CLUE WHAT THEY WERE DOING. Mrs. King directed us to her nephew sonny who would he handle our case after the initial intake. WE had to constantly reach out to him for an update to no avail. One of our final communications with Sonny we were advise(by him) that he has been sick and will handle though it has been difficult with his ailment. When then started receiving calls from John after they properly outsourced. In less than 72 hrs John had all grandma's paperwork filed and processed. I will not even get into how terrible they did on my little lady's final look. She will be getting fixed once she arrives in Liberia”
