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 do not like this cemetary or funeral home. They do not keep my loved ones graves clean or fix them when they lean or sink a bit. I have visited many times and have complained many times . If the plots of my family had not already been paid for I would not have buried them here. Ever since Myerhoffer took over it has been poor service.i have complain n and even taken staff to see the problem. This is ridiculous. I want my moms grave to look nice all the time but that is often not the case.”

“Sept 7 I was in St. Joe visiting from San Diego and looking for my grandfathers unmarked grave according to a map my mother had given me. It was about 96 degrees out and me and my family were very hot but we paced off the graves trying to locate my grandfather. A man in a small truck came to us and called into the office to try and help us locate the grave. The office told us we were in the wrong section so Curtis directed us to the other location and we drove over there. We started looking again and Curtis said this is not the right place and contacted the office again which sent us back to the original place. When we met up with Curtis again he had brought the 3 of us bottles of cold water and then proceeded to help find the grave which he did find. I commend Curtis for his friendliness and thoughtfulness in helping us locate the grave. He refused a tip. Thanks Curtis for helping us. Nancy Bradford”

“My son is buried there and I have had nothing but positive dealings with them. From the time I lost him throughout the past thirteen years it's been there's been nothing less than respect shown towards my family and my son. I can't begin to express the magnitude of support they've continued to show over the years and I recommend them to anyone.”
