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
“I highly recommend Austin and Bell in White House. During an incredibly difficult time for my family they provided the professionalism and compassion our family needed. They handled my mother's cremation with the utmost dignity. Ms. Cindi walked us through every step, ensuring we understood the options without any pressure or feeling rushed. I left there that day feeling calmer then when I arrived. They treated us as if we were family; not just a number. We did not have a funeral at the location but can say I have been to a few there and everyone has always spoken highly of them.”
— Karen Shadwick
“My family and I are so grateful for the kindness and compassion Cindi gave to us before and after my father passed. It was a blessing to work with her during such a difficult time. Sean was so kind to follow up with us after the funeral to see how we were. Such a blessing to be able to trust our father to Austin and Bell.”
— Maureen McGuire
