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
“4/2025, recently I was introduced to Metro East Mortuary. My mother passed this February and Metroeast conducted her Memorial Service this April (our choice). My review is 5 stars because my family and I were very pleased with the setup of the Memorial Service. Mr. Shen Williams, the owner always made himself available to us. His representative Shanika was awesome. She was on time, she set up our keep-sake blankets, and she set up flowers 💐 . Her demeanor was friendly and pleasant. One "signature" thing that Mr. Williams does, is pictures on the guest book, so while the guests/family are signing their names they are looking also at pictures of the family. I had never seen this before with a guest book. Thank you Metroeast Mortuary for making this Memorial of my Mother a great event and memory. I will tell my family and friends about you.”
— Ms. V
“This past weekend, we just laid my uncle to rest… The attention to the details in laying him to rest was OUTSTANDING. The care and love that was poured into my mother and family at the time is unmatched. The calls/emails that was made to make sure everything was correct and the way we wanted was unbelievable. You can tell they love what they do even though it is difficult times for families. They really do CARE!!!”
— Robin Dillard
“Shen and his staff (Ms. Tina and Michael)were kind, courteous, and helpful beyond measure. My son was taken care of by them, and his memorial was beautiful. I truly thank them so much!”
