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
“⸻ When my 14-year-old sister passed away, our family was completely heartbroken. We knew about traditional funerals, but we also knew that wasn’t her. She was unique, and we wanted something that truly reflected her spirit. That’s why we chose the Mortuary Center of Southwest Louisiana and I can’t say enough good things about Chastity and her team. From the moment we walked in, we felt a sense of peace. Chastity told us she was going to take care of everything, and she did exactly that. She made the process smooth, personal, and full of compassion. We left feeling at ease, knowing our sister was honored in a way that felt real and meaningful. Chastity was absolutely amazing, and we’re forever grateful.”
