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
“Pierre Funeral Home treated us like family. Everyone were very helpful and attentive and helped us with a process that could have been overwhelming. Thank you so much for accommodating us to make our goodbyes easier.”
— Boo Krieger
“My mother-in-law had made arrangements with Pierre long before her move to Florida, and we had to plan the whole service and burial from afar, with no one on the ground save Jim and his team. The ceremony went flawlessly and was so lovely. We were even down a car, having flown in, and Jim stepped right in to help, and his very kind son helped drive our crew back and forth to the cemetery. I will repeat what others said - there was no pressuring, no hard decisions - it was so very easy. Thank you!”
— Nicole Denner
“My father passed away and Jim Pierre helped to make the experience both smooth and organized. Handling unseen details and keeping the process as painless as possible was of great help to me and my family. Communication was easy and its hard to state how comforting it is not to have to micromanage but to be led and only have to worry about our family grief.”
— Matt Motycka
