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?”
Ask whether assignment is available for your policy and location, what fees apply, and what you must pay upfront. MedaSynq does not arrange assignments.
“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
Under the FTC Funeral Rule, funeral homes must give price information by telephone and a written General Price List when you visit in person. Federal law does not require them to send the list by mail or email. You can select individual goods and services and use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“The team was professional but more importantly kind and thoughtful of what I was experiencing. Every opportunity to explain, gently take care of the business aspect, or go beyond their normal expectations was greatly appreciated. When you need a team to help carry you through the difficult task of honoring someone you loved dearly, they will work with you at your pace and take care of things you hadn’t anticipated. It is a calming and beautiful environment to be able to relax and trust their talents.”
— Becky Dawson
“Lupton–Millard Funeral Services provided exceptional professionalism, quality care, and genuine compassion during one of the most painful seasons of our lives. From the very first interaction, their team handled every detail surrounding my sister, Charita, with dignity, grace, and deep respect. They were not only highly professional, but also profoundly human—present, attentive, and patient in moments when our family was grieving and emotionally overwhelmed. Their level of care went beyond logistics. They listened, guided us with clarity, and ensured that Charita was honored beautifully and thoughtfully. Every step was handled with excellence, sensitivity, and compassion, allowing our family to focus on grieving and loving one another rather than worrying about details. In a time when trust matters most, Lupton–Millard earned ours completely. I cannot recommend them highly enough to any family seeking funeral services rooted in professionalism, quality, and sincere care for both the departed and those left behind. We are deeply grateful.”
— Terri Matthews
“I have attended many Lupton services throughout the years along with other establishments. The level of service and care that is provided is unmatched in the city and most likely in the state. The staff is very attentive and professional. They truly make you feel like family and with so much class. I would highly recommend Lupton. Ask for the Vice President Josh, you will not be disappointed.”
