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
“Carla handled my uncle's service when she was on Nash Street. I was involved in that and everything was fine. However, this time my experience was not pleasant. The whole situation was diabolic. When I initially met with her to discuss my mother's home going service she never gave me her full attention. Hindsight, I should have walked out and went elsewhere. Because she had been in business for a while I thought with her experience and expertise she would be able to handle this. So many things went wrong on the day my mother was memorialized. I was so upset that I could not speak with her regarding the mismanagement and the unprofessional service my friends and family received from her establishment. I had to make an appointment for another day when I was calm. I liked that she sat down with me to hear my concerns. However, I was disappointed when she blamed the debacle on her staff. You know the old adage, "If you have no standards, you will fall for anything." My mother deserved better and should have gotten better. Well, I have standards and my standards were not met. I expected professionalism, attention to detail, caring/empathy, organization, etc. None of that was present from the initial intake meeting to the memorial service. Carla really dropped the ball on this one. Would I recommend her services, NO! Buyer Beware.”
