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.

“Smith Family Funeral Home was the first and only choice for our family when planning our dad’s funeral. We have known the Smith family for many years but even if that had not been the case, we would have chosen them. They made the entire process so easy from the first phone call to the aftercare services. We would not change one thing about our experience. Thank you to Kent, Jeff, Carol and staff for all of your help.”

“I had my grandfather's memorial service here and they were AMAZING from the initial call of us wanting him cremated all the way to the service. They thought of everything and was sooooo consolingly and accommodating. We were able to celebrate our grandfather the way that he would have wanted it to go 💜💐”

“We lost our daughter last month (October 2025) and because of previous interactions with them, Smith Funeral Home was the first place we thought of to make arrangements. They did not disappoint! Hannah met with us to go over the many options available, and everyone there was very professional and courteous. Even though we decided not to have a public viewing they made arrangements for us to have a private one, which was a perfect way for us to say our goodbyes. And then there was the Aftercare appointment! They offered to meet with us over the phone to make sure we hadn't overlooked the many details associated with a death. Lori led a detailed discussion, asking questions to be able to steer us in the right direction for our particular situation. After the meeting she followed up with a detailed email about what we discussed, including additional resources we could review on our own. She also said we could call again if we had any additional questions or needed help with something. We would definitely use them again should the need arise.”
