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
“Jack and Mickey are both the sweetest, kind people who genuinely care. They make sure they are very detailed in step of the way. They communicate constantly. If you want to feel like your loved one is in good hands these are the people to do it. They have now taken care of 2 of my family members, and I recommend them to close friends and also had a positive experience in the worst of situations. Thank YOU to Jack and Mickey you both are greatly appreciated.”
— Ashley Laney
“The man in charge was very professional and gracious. We were very pleased with his services.”
— Sharon Doyle
“The whole process with Jack was very easy and straight forward. I went for the simple cremation package and even got the remains back earlier than expected (may not always be the case with others) so my family from overseas can see my mother's remains before they left the next day. One thing I want to note is that Jack never tried to persuade me into getting extra "products or services" which you might get from other businesses.”
— Steven Demesa
