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
“March you all are such a blessing. Our mother was so very beautiful… She looked herself❤️Such an amazing job😊 great care and service. Most funeral homes put too much make up on and it really makes them look fake. When you love your job it shows. A+++++ ❤️it!!!! My first time setting everything up and they worked with me faithfully to make sure everything was ok. Thank you so very much! Thanks again and again!”
— Angela Williams
“This is the only funeral service I have used and will always use. I know from my personal and business relationship with Al and his family that this business was built on honesty, compassion, integrity, understanding, fairness, and exceptional service. From first hand knowledge by working for and with the establishment from its infancy. The core values that were established then have been passed down and are still being practiced to this day. I highly recommend this Funeral service above all the the others. God bless you and your staff Rhea. And keep doing what you’re doing.”
— Marion Peterson Jr
“March Ferguson did a wonderful job on my mom in 2015. And I feel the price was very reasonable. I'm giving 5 stars because I recieved 5 star service. Yes I understand the receptionist can be very rude, and make the place seem awful. So I never worked with her. Just March ( The Director ). He takes good care of your loved ones.”
