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
“Two years ago, Mary Halford helped my mother plan her funeral. When the day finally came to put the plan into action, everything ran so smoothly. The professionalism and compassion shown by Mrs. Halford, Jason Wood, and the entire staff gave my family a sense of peace during a very sorrowful time. I greatly appreciate all they did to see that my mother’s final wishes were carried out with such dignity and grace!”
— Valeria Johnson
“My father’s funeral service was handled by Fisher Riles and I could tell we were in good hands at our planning meeting. They honored my mother’s wish to have a visitation at Fisher Riles and the mass at St.Paul’s. All the necessary details were handled by Mary Dee Halford at this time. He was able to have his military service honored with proper respect. Brandon and Bill also held our hand every step of the way. In our loss they brought comfort and clarity to us in every detail. Our funeral reflected the elegance of our dad and our family appreciate each person who played a part of this process.”
— Mary Beth Reeves
“My mother and I were treated so well while planning my father’s funeral. From the first contact to well after the services, Jason and everyone there made the experience seamless and dignified. They were very helpful and understanding. My mother has also been able to pre-plan her arrangements. They are very professional, but caring at the same time. We would recommend them to anyone.”
