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.

“Derek, Becky, and the whole Tetrick family were very professional, kind, and helpful through the process of losing my dad. My dad wanted a simple funeral. They did not pressure my family into additional services and worked to provide exactly what my dad wanted! I highly recommend them!”
— Brooke Crawford
“I’ve hesitated about leave this review but my intention is not to bash them it’s to inform people of what they are getting into ! My mother passed 2 days after Christmas this was my 1st time ever having to deal with something like this the name stuck out to me so when I ask where I wanted her sent all I knew to tell them was tetricks they came to pick her up and the next day called me to come make the arrangements upon getting there I was greeted at the door and walked back to a room that felt like a prison cell where I was told that they was unable to help me find a life insurance policy they was unable to do anything couldn’t move forward in anyway untill almost 5000 was paid in full for a simple cremation no service or anything just the cremation I was lost for words completely the guy helping me was no help at all so basically if you don’t have life insurance or don’t know how to access it they leave your love one in a cooler for who knows how long and that’s just that luckily I told them I was going to go home and figure things out I found lipford in Mtn city who told me not to worry about a thing he came straight and picked my mother up from tetricks and we was able to get what we needed to done and had a beautiful service all under 2000 and not to mention they make you feel like your a person and they truly care I would recommend them to anyone they didn’t ask me for a single dime untill after everything was settled I get it that times have changed and things are extremely expensive but what I don’t understand is a place like tetricks taking advantage of people in a time like that and that’s exactly what they do ! Now when my mamaw passed away she has insurance and I remember them being much nicer and easier to work with with my dad but if you don’t have money to throw away or insurance please done let this place get you ! There’s much better options I just sadly didn’t know that at the time”
