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
“Very professional, respectful and affordable. Made it easy for me to make arrangements while out of town. Also very responsive. If you want fingerprints or any Momentos, make sure to ask for them upfront. I was apprehensive from the lack of views, Which is why I felt compelled to leave a review because I was very satisfied and highly recommend.”
— Lauren Tish-Hensley
“During the most emotional time of our life, Mr. Kourtney Teat handled my mothers funeral with the utmost grace, class and care. The family was very emotional and reactive but he knew how to calm us down. He had empathy and seemed to relate to the family. He was very gentle, professional and PATIENT with us as we made big decisions. Teat dealt w/us with kid gloves! I believe he has met his calling of soothing, helping and uplifting grieving people. Overall, he became like a part of the family (and I mean that). We had a bad experience with another funeral home; but he wiped away all bad feelings from that w/amazing work. On top of that, My mother looked beautiful *tears*. They knew how to put everything together and ran a beautiful service. Lastly, they did a cross state transport that went smoothly. We are forever grateful to Mr. Teat and thank the Lord for him and his team!”

Gave us a sense that “everything would be alright” Mr. Teat may not be well known in the Mt.Vernon area, but he drove from Fairview Heights to Mt.
