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
“this place is very unprofessional. Sounds like a circus when you read the staff bios. Also they lack compassion and make a joke out of death. No wonder they only get 3 to 4 deaths a month. The new owner needs to go to an ethics class. they need to shut down”
— Nate Jones
“This team will make you feel your best, while going through your worst. With the hardest news of my life I am so thankful I made the best decision of funeral home for my Dad, myself, and my family. Our loss had obstacles that I don’t think I could have navigated without Tina, Josh, and the rest of the Buck-Murphy family. They were helpful, considerate, and went above what they were obligated to do. I will forever be grateful for them. I highly recommend their establishment for anybody facing the whirlwind that comes with losing a loved one. We love you Buck-Murphy team!”
— Myria Johnson

They helped answer any questions we had and were very courteous and respectful. They have a very clean and beautiful chapel with high quality sound so everyone can hear what loved ones have to say. I would recommend these kind folks to anyone needing their services.”
