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
“The best Funeral Home: Linen-Knox Director Oneal Linen I live in New York and my deceased mother lived in South Carolina. When I received word about her death, I panicked because I had no idea how I was going to plan a funeral for my Mom while living in another state. Although this was the first funeral I had to plan...I knew that the first thing I had to do was to call the funeral home & I did. That being said; From the very first telephone call Mr. Linen was very courteous and friendly. I couldn't leave for South Carolina to make arrangements for two days, but Mr. Linen, Director and his team took all the stress out of a very difficult situation via telephone & social media. Once in SC three days before my mom funeral, my daughter, granddaughter and I met at the funeral home with Oneal and his daughter Latasha to make the final arrangements & were so impressed by their relaxed and helpful support. They were very understanding and able to talk us through the process he offered & gave us enough information to help make such difficult yet important decisions for my mother funeral. This is so difficult to put into words, but from the initial planning to the day of my mom funeral, the burial and departing SC back to NY...Mr. Linen was helpful beyond the call of duty. On our way back to the airport, he called me saying that he had forgotten to give me copies of the death certificates. I told him to please mail them to me, but he said that he was only thirty minutes away from our destination and he would meet me with the certificates. For me! again that was beyond the call of duty and heartfelt. I would recommend Mr. Oneal Linen wholeheartedly to anyone. Thank you Mr. Linen & Team for your kindness, understanding and support in arranging my Mother funeral at this difficult time. Dolores Barbara Williams Daughter of the Late Ruth B. Holmes”
