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.

“Pet services: These folks are amazing. We had to deal with the sudden loss of our beloved German Shepherd several years ago on a holiday weekend. I had no idea what to do or where to go. They were so compassionate and generous. They understand your pet is your family. I've recommended Southlawn to everyone I've known who's had to deal with such a loss. Thank you!”
— Jennifer Eby
“Some of the most amazing people I have ever met. I have had to unfortunately visit them after the passing of animals and I can't say enough about each and every person that works there. Every day they are dealing with someone that lost a pet and yet the professionalism and sincerity cannot go unnoticed. Bless you all!!!!”
— Brent Barnhart
“The people that work there are amazing, kind, caring people. Helped me so much with the cremation of my wonderful dog Shady. Forever grateful for their help. May God bless them greatly!”
