Harris Funeral Home

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.

“I’m never one to leave a review, good or bad, but I have to leave one for Harris Funeral Home-especially Mr. Harris. If you’re in need of funeral services and want to ensure that you & your loved one will be taken care to the upmost standard, look no further. Death is a sensitive matter that puts many in a difficult position. Mr. Harris had the ability to make this tragic process light hearted. Every challenge I/we faced (and believe me there were MANY) planning my father’s funeral in a short amount of time Mr. Harris handled it beyond measure. I can’t thank Mr. Harris & Harris Funeral Home for their compassion, kindness, empathy, attention to detail, level of service, and dedication they demonstrated for me and my father’s service. They were able to display a service that left me with a beautiful everlasting remembrance of my father. Mr. Harris & Harris Funeral are miracle workers! It’s truly a one of kind establishments and you’ll be taken care as if you’re family.”

“Mr. and Mrs. Harris are amazing! They showed great respect and love for my son. Mr. Harris allowed me to vent my feelings to him well after the services were done. I lost my first born child and they did everything they could to make his arrangements as smooth as possible. They were very considerate and did a PHENOMENAL job making my boy look as natural as possible. Everyone in attendance said, “wow, he really looks as if he’s sleeping!” I will forever be grateful to the Harris’!”
