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.

— April Reynolds
“Terrible services. Terrible customer service. No family car, had to carry our own flowers to the church. Conspired with my brothers ex wife to make sure she got death certificates that we paid for so she could go after everything even tho she signed off all rites to him and his body.. Do not ever use this funeral service.They are the worst i've ever experienced in my entire life. Besides they are rude and condescending. If I could, I'd give them zero stars...”
