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
“Families First did an amazing job with helping me and my family make the final decisions on my aunt's farewell. Ms. Teonna was professional, patient and empathetic as she walked us through the final decisions. When the day came for the service Ms. Angie had everything already set-up. She had reviewed our program ahead of time, had the music set-up and was on point when we needed her. Families First had a chapel that accommodated family and friends, along with setting the atmosphere for the service. We cannot say enough about this business. We are grateful for their expertise and guidance through the process. If you are undecided or not sure where to go for funeral or cremation services, please call Families First. This was my family's first experience with them, but it will not be our last.”

“Families First was absolutely wonderful! From the gentleman that picked up my grandmother in the middle of the night on a Sunday to Amanda who helped me set up her cremation. Very sweet, kind, and compassionate people and quick to respond to emails and phone calls. They were also able to take my grandmothers fingerprints for me since I was unable to do that before she passed. I definitely recommend them to anyone! Especially if you are stressed about the costs of cremation, they are one of the lower cost options available! Thank you again for taking care of her!”
