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 was so appreciative of Fort Hill's work when my mom passed away. Karen was wonderful to work with. She was patient with all of our questions, made herself available by text if needed, and made sure Mom's stone was exactly what we wanted. We took a good bit of time making our selections and she never rushed us or got impatient. Would recommend working with her and with Fort Hill to anyone.”
— Rianna Wilson
“My husbands passing was unexpected. Karen was very professional and deeply kind during this period of time where I was highly unfocused and grieving.”
— Wanda Adcock
“I would just like to start by saying thank you for offering a safe and pleasant trunk or treat experience. I have multiple family members buried at this location and have purchased a few other plots. I have always felt very welcome and truly cared for with my experiences. The trunk or treat experience was awesome, I brought my 11 yo niece and she absolutely loved it. And looking forward to next years event. Keep up the good work”
