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
“We entrusted Heritage Funeral Home with my husband's services (David Kilgore, Sr.) during one of the most difficult times in our lives, and I am deeply grateful for the care and compassion they showed our family. From the very first meeting, the staff treated us with kindness, patience, and professionalism. They handled every detail with dignity and respect, ensuring that David’s service truly reflected who he was. Their guidance through the planning process made an overwhelming situation much more manageable. Every question was answered thoughtfully, and we never felt rushed or pressured. The facility was peaceful and welcoming, and everything was beautifully arranged on the day of visitation. Thanks to their dedication, we were able to focus on honoring David and being together as a family. I sincerely recommend Heritage Funeral Home to anyone in need of compassionate and professional funeral services. Debbie Kilgore”

“Heritage funeral home staff was very compassionate and loving arranging the funerals of my Father-in-law services and three days later comforted and took care of me in the loss of my beloved wife. Their service is invaluable! I would highly recommend this establishment if one of your loved ones goes home to be with our Lord.”
— Jeff Pollard
“My husband passed away in December of 2025. It was without a doubt the worst time in my life. I was contacted the night of his passing and told who would be picking up the body and told what time to come in the office the next day to make arrangements. We met with David the next morning and he was one of the most caring, compassionate people I had ever met. All of my husband’s wishes were carried out. David made sure I knew who to contact at the cemetery. He informed us about who we would need to contact on certain items. I soon found that all the staff I encounter at Heritage were just like David, caring and compassionate. The staff was thoughtful enough to contact me several weeks after the burial to see how I was doing and if there was anything they could do for me. I will forever be grateful for David and his staff. Thank you so much.”
