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
“Wonderful people and the best service and support we could think of to care for the remains of our beloved Ginger, (dog), before we returned her ashes to the ground. Her soul runnings the lush fields with St. Francis. We highly recommend Athens Pet Cremation. And not that pricing really mattered for our bellowed, but they are most reasonable.”
— Tryggvi Arnason
“This holiday season my Percy went to rainbow bridge. I called the day after after Christmas and Tyler called back in minutes after me leaving a message. Katie was so wonderful and supportive during the entire process. She lent an ear when I needed it most. I just picked up my Percy and I cannot say how calming the process was and these folks met every request I had for my baby boy. Thank you to all at Athens Pet Cremation.”
— Michele LaBarbera
“During our grieving days after the loss of our beloved Crystal, the staff here made it so much easier. Especially with the Thanksgiving holiday,we were grateful for the care and comfort of knowing our family member (fur child) was being treated with the respect and dignity she deserved. She was returned to us quickly and I have beautiful keepsakes that I will cherish.Thank you.”
