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
“Words can't explain how much I appreciate Signature Service Mortuary! S. Washington was so kind and patient helping me, and my family make arrangements for my mother M. Cobb. My mother looked beautiful, they did an amazing job. Thank you so much!”
— Antoinette Robinson
“Angel's are real!!! On December 22, 2024, my 6 year old medically complex daughter, joined the spirit realm. Magik, my little girl, was beyond amazing. Her complexities made her more special to me. I had never seen such resilience in a child. But the strong get tired too. I try to be thankful that she is free of affection and safely, happily in God's arms. Nothing in this life has ever hurt me so deeply as losing her. Signature Service Mortuary was referred to me by a really good friend who had met Shamia by chance in the community, and fell in love with her ambience. She had never been to the Mortuary. I read somewhere that suffering leads to greatness. Shamia must be what was meant by that. This woman, a stranger to me, held me up through it all. She referred me to someone for the obituaries, pins, pop ups, casket panel, QR code. Perfection. Her reference for a backdrop, perfection. All arrangements. Perfection. Professionalism unmatched. My sweet girl looked elegant and loved immensely, even in death. The amount of gratitude that I have for her will live inside of me beside my baby girl's memory. I appreciate you so much. I pray that so many blessings rain down on you because you deserve them. This is definitely your ministry. Thank you Deon. Thank you for using your gift to serve others. I would have folded without you all. I wasn't strong enough alone. I'm grateful that I had such genuine and knowledgeable support. And the Mortuary is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!”
