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
“From the very first moment I connected with Precious Memories Funeral Home, I felt seen, supported, and cared for in a way that went far beyond professionalism, it was personal. Vaida took special care of me with intention and ease, walking me through every single detail with compassion and patience. Throughout the process, she made frequent check-ins just to make sure I was okay, which meant more than words can express during such a difficult time. Her kindness, grace, and genuine concern brought comfort to my heart. On the day of the memorial, Vaida and her team made everything absolutely beautiful, beyond what I could have imagined. Every detail reflected love, dignity, and excellence. It was amazing and truly a reflection of how deeply she cares for the families she serves. I’m forever grateful for the care, thoughtfulness, and professionalism shown by Vaida and Precious Memories Funeral Home. They made one of the hardest moments of my life a little easier to bear.”

“This funeral is by far one of the best service funeral homes, from my experience. I’ve only had two experiences unfortunately losing my brother in 2024 and that funeral home breached the contract, and caused so much emotional distress that hasn’t been resolved yet in the year of 2026, but Precious memories Funeral Home not only mean the name that they have but they display a precious memory of you being able to see your loved one to rest. They are very considerate, patient , thoughtful, and very personable to catering to your needs and wants, and also seems to have the ability to humanize with you. I would highly recommend this place just based on how you are treated by them and the care that they provide for your loved one is above and beyond what you could imagine. Despite what you are going through during the difficult time of laying for loved ones to rest, they will remind you that you are still human and help guide you through this difficult moment. I was truly pleased with my experience with them.”

“My hand was held from the time of my mother’s passing until weeks after her services. Vaida is beyond accommodating. It didn’t matter what I requested, she said “I got you!” There was nothing left undone. The level of personal service I received took all of the stress of planning a celebration away. The program booklet was phenomenal and captured the essence of my mother. I special requested specific floral arrangements. They didn’t bat an eye. Post services and cremation arrangements were followed through with special mementoes that I treasure and are on full display in my home. If you want someone working on your behalf when you are experiencing this life transition for your loved one, Precious Memories and Vaida is the type of funeral home you want.”
