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
“They buried my mother in 1997 and my father in 2008 . Excellent Service with Dignity and Respect”
— Janice Hawkins
“Our family has entrusted Sconiers Funeral Home for years and most recently with the passing of our father, the staff have once again proven to be exceptional. Maurice was not only professional but also very personable. He's to be commended for his willingness to make himself available via phone, text or email even after business hours to answer any questions we had. We are also truly grateful for the kindness and professionalism of Bernard as well. I can't say enough about the dignity, dedication and compassion shown to us in our time of grief. Truly a job well done.”
— Mark Barnes
“Really enjoyed speaking with Katrina Sconiers Chester about my arrangements. We found me my perfect sea grass basket for burial. She knew right away what I meant about a "Green Burial" placing me in a biodegradable "casket". Love that Sconiers has been in business since 1916. I trust Katrina.”
— Theresa El-Amin
