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
“The lady was real nice and the mem workers were busy because of the storm. But they took time to take care of us. The Lady in office was a real Sweet Lady. She went out of her way to help us. There under new owners and are starting to repair the Cemetery. It's nice to know that people like that watch over our love ones.”
— Swampman
“I’m writing this on behalf of my mother and her interactions with Chase at the cemetery where my family is buried: “It has been such a wonderful experience to do business with Chase at Forest Park Cemetery. From the start he was attentive and promptly answered all my questions and requests. Chase was very professional but also empathetic. His design for the foot stone is just superb! I am a designer and really appreciated his extraordinary talent. I can honestly say that my experience was way beyond my expectations. I will gladly recommend him to anyone I know. Thank you.” -Margaret Savoie”

“If I could give a 0, I would. Each service request, I was informed I would need to pay in full before getting the requested service/item. We paid in full the amount needed for burial/perpetual care. Yet, we had to beg for 3 months when my husband's gravesite needed to be filled when it sunk in over a foot. Due to the experience, I went to another vendor to get a headstone and informed them of it. The person I worked with begged me to give him the business and he would make it right. I signed a contract and paid in full (over $4,000) on 1/6/21. It is now 8/17/21 and I am (for the 3rd time) being told another date. DO NOT TRUST THEM TO RESPECT AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY!”
