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.

“On January 26, 2024 My Sweet husband Bill Hayes passed away.My son and I went to Waldo Funeral home to make his arrangements. We were introduced to Mr.Billy Keene. Billy, was so helpful to us during this hard time. He was professional and caring and made us feel so much better about what we were having to do. We chose cremation and a celebration of life at the time. Its been 22 months since my Bill went to Heaven and just this week on Nov 5th 2025 we finally had his internment service. Billy and Waldo Funeral home have stood by us all thru this time. Billy arranged for the Military honors to be present at the cemetery, he ordered the Veterans military foot stone and delivered it out to the cemetery. I cant tell you how wonderful Billy and Waldo Funeral services have been to the Hayes family. Waldo has always been so helpful thru the years. Thank you Billy and Waldo for always taking care of us in our time of need. Sincerely; Wanda Hayes”
