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.

“I cannot thank West Georgia Crematory enough for the compassionate and professional support they provided during an incredibly difficult time. When my son unexpectedly passed away at the age of 41, I was overwhelmed with grief and uncertainty. From the moment I reached out to them, Tripp showed genuine care, kindness, and understanding. He guided me through every step with patience and respect, ensuring that my son's remains were handled with dignity. His attention to detail and empathetic approach made a heartbreaking situation more bearable. I am forever grateful for their services and highly recommend West Georgia Crematory to anyone in need of compassionate care during their time of loss.”

“Elizabeth and Jeremy went above and beyond taking care of my husband’s cremation and final wishes, including military honors. My husband was diagnosed in January 2025 with pancreatic cancer, and when the time came to make plans for the inevitable, my husband, daughter, and I met with Jeremy, who explained the process, gave us options, and took note of my husband’s final wishes. After his passing, Jeremy handled all the details with kindness, compassion, and sympathy, and allowed us to focus on our family as we began to process our grief. We will always remember the gentle, respectful, and thorough care shown by all of the staff at West Georgia Crematory.”

“The team at West Georgia Crematory was extremely helpful handling the remains of our dearly departed sister. The staff was knowledgeable and communicated with us throughout the process. Special recognition goes to Tripp and his staff. There prices are the best you can find when considering cremation alone. I would highly recommend this business to anyone who is considering to have their loved ones cremated.”
