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 speak highly enough of this place. My family and I were dealing with an impossible situation, yet Jason and the front office staff did everything they could, going above and beyond, to ease our anxieties where they could. Without such an experience, we would NOT have been able to get through our tough time as well as we did. They treated us not just as friends, but as family. We are incredibly grateful!”
— Kayla Peacock
“It takes skill and tact to make a difficult and unfortunate experience as easy and painless as possible. We tested their skills every way we could, but they kept their composure and persevered like they had dealt with our type a thousand times before. They are a model of professionalism that everyone who interacts with difficult people should strive to be. Thank you for doing what none of us could.”
— Aaron Dashiell
“At a very difficult time in one's life, all staff make this part of life as comfortable as possible. All staff provide a sincerely caring and sympathetic environment. They guide one through the decision making process and coordinate everything desired in a very professional manner. They are with one every step of the journey. I have used this mortuary to bury both of my parents.”
— Diana Alvarez
