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
“A lack of respect and decorum has lead me to this review. My father's grave have been unmarked for 5 months now. The first person I asked about this was unfriendly at best. The second told me his marker was already installed, until they went and looked and found that was not true.”
— Dan S
“I stopped in this past week to speak with someone as I/we live an hour and a half away and I had a few questions. Miss Kelly, the office manager, was extremely helpful and was kind enough to not only locate our two loved ones, but to save time and confusion, she had me follow her in her vehicle to the exact location where they both rest and stayed with me until the markers were found. Her kindness came at a moment that I needed it most. Sadly, we lost my brother-in-law just three short years ago and I hadn't yet been to his resting place. Miss Kelly read the sitiation perfectly and left me to my family where I was able to visit, address my emotions and pay my overdue respects. Thank you, Miss Kelly. You were awesome ❤️”

“My family had occasion to use Funeral Director Jeffrey DeWitt of Dignity Memorial and Parklawn Memorial Gardens within the last month. My mother and I could not have been happier with the services of Mr. DeWitt. He offered great respect, professionalism, and compassion. Folks, do not hesitate to use the services of this facility and most definitely trust your loved one to the care of Jeffrey R. DeWitt of Dignity Memorial.”
