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 family experienced 2 losses this year and Mrs. Simone helped us through both. She is empathetic, kind, and generous. Words can't express how much she means to our family.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The experience my family had with Richmond Funeral Home was nothing short of extraordinary. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, the staff—especially our funeral director— Simone showed us deep compassion, patience, and care. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything was handled with dignity, respect, and love. From the first meeting to the final farewell, we felt supported and truly seen—not just as clients, but as a grieving family in need of peace. The level of empathy and professionalism made all the difference. We are forever grateful for the grace and comfort extended to us.

“Richmond Funeral Home did an amazing job with my Uncle Bay’s Funeral today and my Aunt Teresa’s funeral last July. We have also used them to bury about 5 other family members over the last few years and they never disappoint! They are very professional and always express empathy. Special shout out to Mrs. Simone and Essence……….they went above and beyond for my family and I will forever be grateful.”
