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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“Mr. Randle made a somber occasion in making my mother's final arrangements much more bearable with his jovial spirit and he was such a down to earth person, not at all what I had envisioned in my head as to what a funeral director would be. I didn't have any complaints or issues with how Mr. Randall handled my mother, the way she was presented, the visitation or what to expect at the cemetery. Everyone I came into contact with at Eddie Randle and Sons from talking with Miss Sharon on the phone to communicating with Jennifer by text was so professional and courteous. I would highly recommend using this wonderful business as they will treat your loved one with respect.”

“I called several funeral homes in St. Louis to complete my Aunt’s final journey from Miami to St. Louis for interment at Jefferson Barracks National cemetery. This is a family owned business and it shows. They were excellent in every way. The choice was a no-brainer. Communications, accommodations and value were far above the rest. The others were more concerned with charging inflated prices and communications were horrible. I just tired of leaving messages and waiting for a call back with one of the others. Everyone at Randle Eddie and Sons who I spoke with over the phone and met in person were professional and just plain friendly, compassionate individuals. I highly recommend.”

“Planning a funeral is never easy, but Mrs. Gardner the funeral director made it seamless. She was warm, understanding and professional as was her staff. At this vernerable time she never tried to upsell me and even suggested numerous ways to honor my father, yet save some money in the process. Randle and Sons arranged for the transportation and preparation of my father from Atlanta to St. Louis, provided options on cemetaries, recommended affordable yet classy caskets in addition to providing a excellent musician. They were on time, called several times throughout the process and I would recommend them to everyone for their relatives or friends.”
