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
“My mother passed in October she prepaid her burial and in the end did not want to use the plot and services. I have been talking to Tracy and she promises to call and never does, a refund is coming, but never have seen it. Its almost March and still saying the same thing. I call she promises and then nothing, very frustrating. I will update if and when I get this resolved.”
— Mae Armstrong
“My husband and I decided we wanted to make all prearrangements for our burials to lighten the load for our only son's family. My parents are already buried there, and so will my brother and SIL upon their deaths. Our experience with Traci was wonderful. She walked us through all the decisions we needed to make and could not have been more helpful. She also followed through on some paper work that would arrive in the mail, and how to handle it. Yes I agree, it would be nice if there was a map available showing all the grave site numbers. Hopefully we'll see that in the future.”
— Vicki Vallance
“Nicole was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly! We felt comfortable talking to her about our needs and concerns and she answered anything we asked in a friendly manner. I highly recommend her and the new caretakers of the Memorial Park. This is in marked contrast to the previous caretakers, who failed to maintain anything, and were evasive to requests to have items repaired.”
— Barry Rowland
