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.

“Thank you, Darryl Dickerson and the amazing staff of Dickerson Mortuary, I deeply appreciate the care exhibited to my family during the passing of the Reverend Andrew R. Adams, Jr. From the first call from the hospice facility to the individualized memorial pillows provided to our young children at the burial, your family-style service was impeccable. Every time we walked into the Mortuary there was such awesome and appropriate care including hugs, smiles, and even laughter at times. You all were extremely accommodating to the needs of our family especially for the viewings and visitations. The execution of your service at the Celebration of Life was impressive and professional, we are still receiving compliments from those who attended and saw it online. No request went unanswered. Words really cannot express how happy we are to have chosen Dickerson Mortuary for such a time as this.”

“My sister and I just recently loss our dear mother suddenly! This is a life event that one is never prepared for, but we knew that we were going to place our mother's care in Dickerson Mortuary, as we did with our grandmother. Needless to say, Mr. Darryl Dickerson and his staff were once again, PHENOMENAL!! We could truly sit and call each staff member by name because they were ALL there for us from beginning to end! The professionalism and care provided is second to none! The love shown to us from the entire staff was heartfelt and needed in a time such as this. We are so grateful to each of you! Our mother was beautiful and appeared to be so comfortable and at rest with a beautiful smile on her face! Once again, thank you and continued blessings to Dickerson Mortuary. Natasha Greene-Prosser and LaVondra Greene”
