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
“Lee-Sykes funeral home was very accommodating with the recent passing of my uncle, there are so many wonderful things I can say about Ms. Brittany Brown. She went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. A couple of my family members wanted to add more photos to the slideshow the day before the service and they kindly did so with no hesitation. My grandmother was very pleased with the service and the post-mortem care. Thank you all for doing such wonderful job!”
