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
“Hello I would like to tell everybody out there that's considering looking for or shopping around for a custom, made headstone. Unfortunately at some point , we're all gonna have to face this ugly truth that we will be purchasing this type of beautiful stone one day or another, either for ourselves or for our loved ones. I just want to say with my experience through this company that they're representative miss Anne Marie Has been a very, very patient understanding, loving and kind individual, that this company doesn't realize how much of an asset she is to this company. Folks, I got to tell you.This is definitely the place to purchase a headstone for your loved ones. This doesn't just happen overnight, It takes time lots of time.My experience took about a year to get it prepared and set altogether, but well worth the wait. Thank you Mickelson and Ray for helping my Mother and my Son with a very beautiful headstone, created by myself with the guidance and advice of miss Anne-Marie. Great job!! I'm very pleased with the final product, i highly recommend using this company and their representative miss Anne- Marie. May My mom and my Son rest in peace..Amen Thank you JESUS!!!

“If you're looking to headstone restored, this is the place. We lost my nana in December a couple years ago and needed our grandparents headstone cleaned, vases replaced, along with restoring the original engravings. Greenwood Memorial quoted an astronomical price during what was a very difficult period. Mickelson & Ray was not only affordable, but did a wonderful job on my grandparents headstone. It's beautiful and we are so happy to have a headstone that honors my Nana and Papa. Thank you for the collective hard work.”

“We lost our father in January and wanted to get a headstone for his burial. After calling several places, we chose Mickelson and Ray. This company made us a beautiful headstone and it was completed in weeks instead of months. When we sat down with Anne Marie to order it, she was so kind and genuinely cared about our feelings and decisions. We would definitely recommend this company to anyone considering buying a headstone.”
