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 visited in March to pay respects to one of my favorite Pittsburgh Pirates baseball players Willie Stargells. It was easy to find him. The cemetery was very clean and I enjoyed the Spanish Moss on the trees. It was a pleasant experience.”

“We went to the first mausoleum on left when driving in today as we always do on my father’s birthday and Father’s Day! We have always thought the amount of dead bugs…water bugs and cockroaches were gross! Today we could not sit down for a second!! The amount of gnats were incredible! We immediately had to leave and they were so all over us that they got in the car as well! The doors have huge spaces underneath them and that needs to be fixed! It is a shame that those who have loved ones in there cannot visit. Please address this issue and resolve it quickly. it would be more pleasant visiting an outside gravesite and we wish we would have known!”
— Lisa Fitzgerald
“I love that this cemetery is well cared for. I love all the trees and the pond. However, I find it infuriating that the back gate is almost always locked. My aging Mother tries to visit my father there, she has a hard time driving in heavy traffic, and has a hard time getting in and out in Oleander Dr.. We have repeatedly asked that the back gates be left open during daylight hours and have been told no. We were told we could call ahead and ask for the gates to be unlocked, but find this very confining. Very frustrating.”
