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.

“I cannot say enough about the care, compassion, and professionalism shown by Davis Funeral Home, Roxbury, during one of the most difficult times for our family. From the very first interaction, they treated my sister’s remains with the utmost dignity and respect, and they treated our family with genuine kindness and patience. We are especially grateful to Tammy, Stanley, and John for their kind communication and the gentle, respectful manner in which they tended to my sister and guided our family through each step of the process. Their calm presence, attention to detail, and sensitivity brought us comfort when we needed it most. Every detail was handled thoughtfully, and nothing ever felt rushed. It was clear that this is more than a profession for them—it is truly a calling. Our family is deeply grateful for the way they honored my sister and supported us during this time. I would wholeheartedly recommend Davis Funeral Home to anyone in need of compassionate, professional care.”

“It is clear that funeral director Tammy Hill views this work as a calling, not just a job.

We highly recommend your services and will be forever grateful for the support you extended to our family. Every aspect of the viewing, funeral, and burial was executed with precision. Tammy Hill clearly explained every step of the process, from the paperwork to the service timeline, making a complicated process feel manageable. And made us feel like our family was their only priority. We highly recommend your services and will be forever grateful for the support you extended to our family. Sincerely, The Family of Dorothy Johnson”

“I recently had the pleasure of sending my grandmother off in style by way of Davis Funeral home in Roxbury. We were a family grief stricken by the sudden death of our loved one and had to begin the process of planning arrangements. We made our way to our appointment and had the pleasure of meeting Funeral Director Tammy Hill. She greeted us and gave us our condolences. We were a bit uneasy because we just couldn't believe this was something we had to do. She took such great care of us and made the process that much easier. She explained and answered every question anyone of our family members had. Tammy was patient, knowledgeable, kind, genuine and caring. She paid attention to detail and our wishes and my grandmother was treated with such dignity that we didn't worry or wonder. Tammy was the calm in our storm. She stayed with us from the start of our process until the very end and maintained contact throughout the process. Every-time we reached out she responded without hesitation. We will forever be thankful and grateful for Tammy and all that she did for our family when we needed it most. Davis Funeral Home, Tammy is a gem and cannot be replicated or duplicated. Please know that she represents Davis with the utmost respect and professionalism. While I hope that I don't have burry another loved one anytime soon, if I had to, I would request Tammy at Davis in Roxbury. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Tammy!!”
