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
“We are forever grateful for Colonial Funeral Home and everything they did for us and how they helped us after our father's passing. From the moment we made the first phone call and walked in the doors, we felt cared for—not as customers, but as family. Danny, Rob, and Kim were exceptionally accommodating and hospitable during a very emotional time. They were so patient, went above and beyond, and graciously honored specific requests that we had. Nothing felt rushed or impersonal. We cannot recommend them enough! This was by far the best funeral experience we have ever dealt with, and we will be using them again! Colonial still carries that small town charm—where they know your name, listen to your stories, and truly care about honoring your loved one in a meaningful way. We can’t thank them enough for their kindness and taking a weight off our shoulders during one of the most difficult times in our lives.”
— Elizabeth Lowman
“The staff at Colonial Funeral Home showed my family and me an exceptional level of compassion and care during one of the hardest times that I have faced. From the moment we walked through their doors, they treated us with dignity, patience, and genuine kindness. They took care of every detail with such grace, allowing us to focus on honoring my mama’s memory. Their support was more than professional—it felt personal, like they were walking beside us in our grief. I absolutely recommend Colonial Funeral Home!”
— Joni
“They had our dad looking great and they treated him with so much respect. They all would tell Us over and over if there was anything else that they could do to help us to please let them know. They even contacted us a few days after everything was over to see how we were doing. For such a time of sorrow and loss they went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable during our sad time. Thank you all so much 😊”
