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
“My grandma recently passed in November. My aunt, her daughter, had her services done at Sullivan when she passed in 2014, so naturally, this is where we chose to hold her services. The team, especially Raveen, were amazing from beginning to end. Losing a loved one is hard and losing someone as special as my grandma was even harder. They were so kind and compassionate and explained everything thoroughly. I would definitely recommend them.”

“They did a very good job for my husband, Charles Barney Burkett, (January 2018) and my son, Charlie Brown, (August 2018) services. Mike helped me figure out the many details of the funeral . It helps to have someone like Mike to help you during the hard times of loosing loved ones. I use Sullivan-Ellis Mortuary because my family has been coming here since my great grandparents. Thank you Sullivan-Ellis Mortuary very much. Janet Brown September 12, 2018”
— Michael Ellis
“Sullivan-Ellis provided a wonderful experience for my mother Bekky Anderson (Jan 2016) and recently my father Jerry Anderson (March 2019). Mike provided a smooth process from coming to pick mom and dad up all they way to laying them to rest. Both Mike and Sue provided sympathy when needed and empathy and professionalism during the other times. I would recommend Sullivan-Ellis to both family and friends. Luckily my parents had worked with Mike prior to their death and planned out all of the details. This was so helpful in making sure everything was done according to their wishes. Thank you again Mike and Sue for the grace you provided to our family during these tough times.”
