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.

“Tommy and his staff went above and beyond to make myself and family comfortable. He took great care of my Mom and helped guide me through the entire process. Also Duane was a comfort and made us feel at home during a very difficult time.”

“We chose a cremation/memorial service and it was so dignified and beautiful. The photo printed from McAdams Drafting was enlarged, and so vibrant. The chapel offered a historic and timeless beauty with its deep wood tones and entryways, especially when the sun came through the windows. The link provided to upload photos for the slideshow was so simple to use and convenient for everyone. Tommy Lester was very professional and knew all the right contacts to accommodate our needs and requests; from family coming from out of town, as well as personally reaching out to the pastor we had requested. The staff at Perrys were so patient with us and just wonderful from start to finish. They were so eager to help and serve in any way possible. I would highly recommend them again.”
