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
“Hello to all that are ready this review. First off I want to say as hard as losing my wife of 45yrs, Pamela to stage 4 cancer was and still is 2 weeks later, everyone at Darlington that I have communicated and interacted with have set the bar in my eyes in how to be an absolute professional while remaining compassionate and comforting to everyone in my family! I made arrangements with Amber Darlington maybe 2 weeks before Pam passed. At the time I was quite lost and confused but after the initial conversation with Amber, they took over everything that needed to be done that I am unfamiliar with in this situation and for that me and my entire family cannot express our appreciation for the team out there and what they do for our community! To me they are invaluable! No one likes to think about the end times but when having to face that situation, reach out to Darlington and see for yourself! They all have a place in our hearts and thoughts!”
— Ronnie Alford
“We highly recommend Darlington. From start to finish, they were incredibly communicative and handled everything quickly and with care. We know we weren’t the easiest family to work with—we were on a very tight schedule and didn’t want to draw the process out—but they truly moved mountains to make it all happen. Their tenderness and compassion meant so much to us during such a difficult time, and it brings me comfort knowing they are local and genuinely care about the families they serve. They made an awful situation as easy as it possibly could be, and we are so grateful.”
— Kelly Kirksey
“Lee and Amber are one of a kind people. I can't imagine what it takes to do this kind of work, but this is their calling. I did not know what to expect but I knew I was hurting so much inside and was so protective over my father that when he passed, it was so stressful thinking of handing my loved one over to strangers for care. Lee made all that disappear the moment he spoke. My father would have loved him. They have a way about them. Their knowledge, presence, the way they speak. You can feel it. So much respect and dignity for you and your loved one. If ever there is a need for someone to care for your passed loved ones, Darlington is it.”
