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
“VanMatre's have done my nephew's, brother-in-law's, my dad's, & now my mom's funeral viewing & services. They have ALWAYS been beyond kind, caring, courteous & most importantly respectful. They are a family ran business that treats you as apart of their extended family & treat your loved ones how they would want their loved ones to be treated. Thank you VanMatre's & God bless y'all.”
— Suzze
“If I could give zero stars I would. This business is disrespectful, uncaring and rude. I had a horrible experience at a time when I was grieving and only expected to be treated with kindness, and to be helped by considerate people. If another one of my family members were to be brought here, I would have them removed and taken to a more dignified funeral home. Just because a there is only one funeral home in town doesn't mean you have to use them.”
— Kelley Shaffer
“Beautiful funeral home, plenty of room, nice staff”
— Teresa Webber
