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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“You can't go wrong with this place! Stephen was wonderful to work with and their cremation services were reasonably priced.”
— Marty B.
“I’ve only dealt with Stephen, he helped me with both of my parents services as well as other family members. Kind, knowledgeable, even made me aware of a death benefit I received I otherwise would not have known about. They are so accommodating and have seen it all! Their space is very large, cozy and not corporate. Private services! He just made the hardest time of my life so much easier and I’m so thankful for them. Edit to add: both of my parents were open casket and they looked much like themselves and not creepy or overdone. So whoever does the preparing and presentation deserves an award as well as the hairstyling. Handled all my requests. Seems morbid but I will mention it because it DOES MATTER!”
— R G
“My mom and dad had prepaid cremation plans down in North Carolina. My dad died in the 90s and mom moved back up here and transferred her plan to Meyers Funeral Home in 2002. My mom died at 98 two weeks ago and ALL I had to do was make ONE phone call to Stephen Meyers and he took care of EVERYTHING. He picked up her body at the hospital about 3 hours (!) after I called him and she was sent to cremation immediately. He called when her ashes and death certs. were available and I was able to pick them up at my convenience. I will be pre-paying my own cremation with him once the dust settles with my mom, and hopefully my husband will want to do the same. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.”
