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
“Rainwater “doesn’t really care” This place is an embarrassment of a funeral service provider. This complaint wont even go into how during the actual service they kept making mistakes as simple as when to play music- to the extent that i ended up having to use their ipad to cue songs- instead it will be about the interaction i just had that really sums up their level of service. After 6 weeks of no communication while waiting on death certificates for our mother-in-law, i called last week. They told me it would be 1 week. I called again today and discovered that they gave them away to her ex. Obviously, it makes no sense to give them to anyone other than the person who ordered them- but it is especially egregious to give them to someone the deceased was abandoned by and is only looking to benefit from her passing. When i told them how unacceptable and frustrating it was, THE OWNER LEE said “I don’t really care.” I hope that sets in for anybody looking to get a funeral home to navigate the awful process of saying goodbye to a loved one: RAINWATER FUNERAL HOME “DOES NOT CARE””

“Rainwater Funeral Home goes above & beyond our expectations each sad time we have had to use them. They are compassionate & caring during the whole process of planning, the funeral, & burial of a loved one. Last week my precious mother in law passed away. There was no one else I would rather call. They also made her look beautiful, as they do for each body they have to prepare. I would recommend them for anyone during this sad time. Thank you Rainwater for a job well done”
