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 could not stress enough how helpful this funeral home has been to us. They made such a hard time seamless. Albert kept us laughing throughout the time of planning that we almost forgot we were planning a funeral. And Reggie was there polishing loose ends. Every time we thought of something and would call he always said I’ve already taken care of that. Indeed, it was. I could not have chosen a better establishment. My family thought I was the planner of the year, but it was all McWhite’s. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.”
— Peter Charles
“I’ve been meaning to write this review for months and passed by there today and thought about it but I wasn’t even there for myself I was there with my friend who loss her son and I must say the service was impeccable and the cleanliness and appearance of the place was on point. I remember when this was old Coleman’s and they have done extensive work especially on the inside. I didn’t know about them but this is seriously a hidden gem. Their cars were top of the line. They made sure we knew they owned their cars. I can’t wait to see the motorcycle hearse or something like that in person but she ended up going with the Rolls Royce (I think that’s the name hearse) but the guy did tell me it’s the only one in South Florida and there aren’t many in Florida at all.”
— Marc Davis-McDuffie
“Thank you McWhite’s for everything. I wasn’t sure how my aunt would look because she was sick for so long but everything was next level and she looked just like herself before she was ever sick. I’ll always recommend you all.”
