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.

What Families Say
“About 70 percent of my family is buried in asbury cemetery and yes it is well maintained and kept clean also with it kinda being in a industrial area it is very quiet , it is clean and they do keep it mowed regardless of what people are saying i think people who have made those reviews doesn't realize that this is just a little country cemetery and i believe others are expect more out of it but like I said it's a country folk cemetery not a celebrity cemetery it will be my final stop and I'm proud that this is where i will be laid to rest when God calls me home but I think what some people are doing is comparing asbury to one of those big fancy cemeteries in the city but I guarantee a burial pot will be a lot more expensive than asbury”

“Please don't consider this place for your loved ones. My grandparents' resting place is there, unfortunately, and I found out today that flowers are not allowed and not just during mowing season. This is a cemetery- how does this make sense? I'll explain... I won't say the man's name publicly, but I called the main office about getting a new vase for them, as I thought theirs had been stolen. He said "feelings will get hurt if we mow them over, we'd have to pick up flowers all the the time" and other excuses. He did state that flowers will be thrown away but "if it's their birthday or something, we'll let them stay for about a week". They also allow Christmas flowers but ***SHAME ON YOU for being lazy, Asbury Cemetery***. I'll give you more flowers to throw away because I certainly will not stop bringing them every single anniversary and holiday. It's extremely sad to me that throughout all these years of grief and loss, I've rarely encountered anyone who has genuine compassion for the deceased or their families. I know of a woman who lost her three children in an accident. She said that the only tangible thing she can do for them now is to create beautiful flower bouquets and honor their sacred resting place. Thank you for taking away that opportunity away from us, Asbury Cemetery.”

“Would mot recommend this cemetery. Steve is rude and we purchased a headstone with a vase so it wouldn’t obstruct mowing. They take our flowers and throw them away and have taken our vase out of the headstone!! They have a huge flower graveyard that they throw away these flowers and it’s ridiculous!”
