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
“We have used Dove Cremation (Southwest) three times in the past eleven years. From the moment that Dove was contacted, they were available to us every day at any time. They made a difficult time easier to navigate. The staff was always professional and courteous. We were welcomed the moment we arrived, and they always remembered our names. Dove listened to our vision for the celebration of life for our loved one, and then made it happen. They stayed in contact with us after the service as well, making sure that we had everything that we needed. Our family will continue to use Dove’s services in the future.”
