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
“Our family is incredibly grateful to the team at Brown Funeral for the care, compassion, and professionalism they showed while handling our father’s funeral arrangements. During such a difficult time, they guided us through every step with patience and kindness, making a very emotional process feel manageable. They were attentive to every detail, respectful of our wishes, and always available to answer questions. We never felt rushed or pressured — only supported. One thing that truly stood out and was deeply appreciated is that they only schedule one viewing and funeral at a time. That level of privacy made the service feel very special and intimate, allowing us to focus completely on honoring our father without distraction. We also appreciated their ability to handle the food for our gathering. That is such a nice — and rare — option, and it made everything so much easier for our family. The service was beautiful and truly honored his life. We sincerely appreciate everything they did for our family and would highly recommend them.”

“My grandma passed on 2/6 and one of her very few requests was to have her service at Brown Funeral home. I accompanied my parents to the initial meeting to figure out all the details which is hard in and of itself, but we met with Michelle and she was so empathetic, understanding and accommodating. She walked us through each step of the process and was very patient with us. They took care of absolutely everything we needed them to and went above and beyond for us before, during and after the funeral. My family and I are so appreciative to all of the staff for all their help in navigating this incredibly difficult time.”
