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
“Boyd was chosen for my loved one and at first I thought we made the perfect decision by choosing them but as time went on it was clear that we didn’t. Erma… she seemed pleasant upon initially meeting, when prices were being discussed. After that she wasn’t as consistent. Very snappy. There was no real hospitality, it seemed like she wanted to get everything over with and wanted us out of her way. Quite frankly I didn’t think she agreed with our wishes, she did what she wanted to do and there were a couple of unkept promises. As far as the actual body, wonderful job. My cousin looked marvelous but customer service and respecting the family’s final wishes? Please work on it. We’re paying you, you deliver. Not the other way around. Overall 5/10 wouldn’t recommend.”

“Horrible, horrible horribly unprofessional! They do not have the professional know how to manage families at a delicate time. They are not use to change happening, and changing request happing. If you have a change or request after your loved one’s arrangements have been made, they can’t get it done even after confirming the change will be made. Most importantly they don’t know how to communicate with loved ones without turning it into an argument and hanging up on you. The office female is very attitudish and disrespectful. Do not have these ppl to preside over your families needs.”
