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
“Very professional and courteous memorial funeral service for my mom, 77 years old, Mary E Anderson. The reception dinner was amazing, the flowers, the ambiance, and the easy of creating a video/photo and excellent communication. I wouldn't change a thing & recommend anyone going through this difficult time to hire FHFH.”

“We used Fred Hunter's for both of my parents funerals. Their staff was professional and compassionate. The arrangements were straightforward and went off without a hitch. They did a wonderful job of setting up the room for my father's service and arranged for a military honor guard. Dealing with the loss of a loved one, or someone close to you, is very difficult but Fred Hunter's did an excellent job. I feel comfortable recommending them to anyone.”

“I buried my mother in law dec of 2021. It’s cost us around $20,000. Everything was cool up until when they were covering the grave. After placing the cover on the vault, they stepped my mother in laws vault to bring a water pipe threw buriel spot, the grave. It was so insulting to all of us. Specially my wife and sister in law. The funeral person that has handling our account, couldn’t believe it either. He was so embarrassed. He called over the person in charge of the plot for an explanation. She came over and told us she didn’t know and that was it. She was very cold in my opinion. The priest also told us that we should except such a thing. I will never ever use their services again. They were so cold about the situation and just proceeded despite the mistake. It literal ruined that moment of goodbye. Literal insult to injury. We are Hispanic, and in my opinion , as Hispanic people we always have to accept misfortunes and walk away. And by the way, the guy / person In charge of our account never called us again to see how we were doing. Ever. Ever. So much for compassion. Attached are pictures.”
