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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 had such a wonderful experience working with this Funeral Home. My grandmother Scarlet Bryant was in their care. The staff was very pleasant, respectful, and caring! Chance guided us through the process and Scott E. helped when we didnt have a pastor. Even though he didnt know anything about my grandmother he talked to us and got information regarding her and put together the best service I could have asked for! Overall, the staff there are amazing and I would recommend them to anyone! ❤️”

“With no significant ties to this funeral home, we were still treated with extreme care and fairness in caring for my mother's body. They took into account the circumstances and ensured we felt confident about how she was handled. I was very impressed that they adjusted the pricing to reflect their work when we really would never have known the difference but they wanted to do what was right. Thank you to their folks.”
— Viki Gossen
“My mom passed last week and Chance Waters made the entire service, from beginning to the end streamline. He served my family with compassionate care, always available for whenever I needed something; listening with a sympathetic ear and responding with genuine empathy. He is a true gem to Paul Funeral Home.”
— Christie Noe
