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
“I cannot say enough good things about Burpee- Scott. They handled every situation I could think of and situations that I would have never thought of with dignity and compassion. My father's funeral was preplanned and prepaid, which made things easier but there were still several things that needed to be handled and Burpee-Scott handled them effortlessly And respectfully.”
— Michael Edwards
“Mr. Jody Scott and all of his staff are PHENOMENAL!!! My baby brothers funeral was so very well done and they took care of everything for us. They all made us feel like family. They helped us get through such a difficult time and I would highly recommend them to anyone. BURPEE-SCOTT FUNERAL HOME IS PROFESSIONAL AND WE ARE SO BEYOND THANKFUL FOR THEM!!!”
— Terri Harris
“This was my family’s second time patronizing Burpee- Scott services and our first doing it exclusively for a relative - I literally CAN NOT emphasize enough how great of an experience this was during what was and is a tremendously tragic time for my family and I. Jody is simply the best - the entire family, staff, facility - EVERYTHING! My aunt was important to us but Burpee - Scott made us feel as if she was equally as important to them too. There will not be another potential funeral home my family could consider at this point after such an amazing experience. Death is inevitable but finding a business that makes you feel loved and valued is the best reward during such a difficult time. I’d recommend them to anyone and everyone on this side of heaven.”
