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
“Regrettably, I've attended numerous funerals, and I've never encountered "born and died" on a program. I've seen variations like "sunrise and sunset," "born and departed," or "transition," but never the word "died." The program we received required several grammatical edits; unsure who handled the proofreading, but there was an oversight.”
— Don E
“I would recommend using Kimbrell-Stern. Jay went above and beyond to make sure that my mother's funeral was exactly the way she wanted it. When her pastor refused to preform the ceremony as she wanted, Jay was able to have one of their pastors step in and everything went as planned. Jay was there from day one and even helped us three months after the funeral. The only thing I will worn you about, if you order flowers off the website DON'T use Petal Pushers. They don't pay attention to the funeral date and my mom had dead flowers at the funeral because they sent them 2 weeks early. Paula the owner is rude and unprofessional and won't return you calls. I recommend using Albany Floral - Lynn is the best.”
— Sandy Jarrell
“They did both my parents funerals with the most utmost respect, and professionalism that anyone could expect. They were there for me before, during and after the services. Anytime I had a question about anything, I could call and get a friendly ,honest, helpful answer. That is rare these days ❤”
