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.

“Fred Dickey funeral service went above and beyond in planning my aunt’s funeral. Living in another state, I had to handle everything over the phone, and their team was incredibly patient and accommodating throughout the process. They promptly answered all my questions and communicated quickly via phone calls, text, and email. They planned a beautiful wake at their location, providing snacks and creating a warm, supportive atmosphere. A special thanks to Ms. Hawkins, who went out of her way to take great care of us during this difficult time. Their professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail were truly exceptional. I highly recommend Fred Dickey funeral services to anyone in need of reliable and empathetic services.”
