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
“Having had two deaths in my immediate family this past year, I can say, hands down, that Owens and Brumley is the best and No. 1. With each death, my family was welcomed by a caring and dedicated staff. Elizabeth, at the front desk, and John, the Funeral Director, made me feel like family thru their genuine concern and cooperation and even contacted me a few weeks later to check on me. John took care of all the details, making it easier to get thru such a difficult time. He showed such a gracious understanding of my particular problems, and he went the extra mile to make the second funeral affordable to me. No stuffy atmosphere there either.....it felt like home !”

“My Mom passed away in November of 2025. I am her only child so I was responsible for handling a lot of her affairs, including setting up her final arrangements. She had a prepaid plan, but it wasn't quite enough to cover it all. Justin and the rest of the staff were so patient and kind, very helpful. I had to navigate banking issues for the balance, but they were wonderful and very understanding. All went off without a hitch. Mom is now at rest and I am too. Thank you Owens and Brumley, you are the best”
