Questions to Ask When You Call
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.

What Families Say
“Everything is missing from my friends resting place. His grave marker, the decorations, everything that we spent money and time to make it look nice. There is no website no email information no one answered the phone and the door for the office has no hours or contact information posted. There are shards of the decorations everywhere making it obvious the maintenance people drove over him with a lawn mower I cannot believe how much lack of respect there is for the families and people that have passed to have someone in a grave that is completely unmarked there.”
— Miranda Jacobs
“Received awesome customer service from Cleo, he was friendly and extremely helpful. If I were able to suggest possible improvements, markers for the sections 😊”
— Sheila Lee
“I have multiple family members who have been buried in this cemetery since 1926 through more recently. Whenever I was there in March the grounds were pretty well kept. You can tell the cemetery is older, but it is a nice quiet retreat in the middle of a very busy city. The back of the headstone needs a good scrubbing, but that is not the cemetery's responsibility. I will be returning to thoroughly clean the other side.”
— Heather Kelley
