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 cannot say enough wonderful things about Family Pet Cremation and the care they showed our family during one of the hardest moments we’ve experienced. Saying goodbye to our sweet girl after 12 years was heartbreaking, but their team handled everything with such compassion, respect, and kindness. From the moment we entrusted our baby to them, they treated her with dignity and genuine care. They walked us through the process with so much thoughtfulness and made sure we felt supported every step of the way. What meant so much to us was the incredibly quick turnaround. Having our sweet baby back home with us the very next day was truly above and beyond. In such a painful time, bringing her back home where she belongs meant the world to our family. We are deeply grateful for the compassion and professionalism they showed us. Thank you for treating our girl with such love and care. We would highly recommend Family Pet Cremation to anyone needing these services for their beloved pet.”

“I brought my baby boy, Donut to Pet cremation one year and half ago , 2024, after he died of cancer at 14 years old. They were so nice and understandable on what i wanted at the time. I got him back at a good timing. I had to let go of my beautiful girl, Zena of 16 years right here before Christmas of 2025. It's been heartbreaking, and they got her back to me the next day. I highly recommend Family pet cremation in Hickory Nc for taking care of the final rites of your beloved pets. They take care of ALL family members. Im going to them for my final rites also. I recommend them 100%. They treat them with respect. And that's what matters. 💔😢. Thank you for all you did for my babies. When I had to let them go,, I took them ,myself, to the funeral home. I wanted to make their arrangements just like I would for my human family. It was a personal thing,, because they took a part of me with them. I know they are free of pain,, but I also have a part of them with me.”
