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
“My mother specifically left instructions to have her service at Wetumpka Memorable Funeral Home. Bill Barrett gave me 100% of his attention. He thought of everything, made suggestions and reminded me of my of things I had forgotten.I was able to reach him within minutes. The service under his direction went perfectly smooth from the surroundings, music and slideshow of pictures of my Mom. The company has done a lot of renovations and its a warm, comfortable place to pay tribute to your family and friends. I can't thank Bill Barrett enough.”
— Vicki Scott
“As soon as the financial part was taken care of, they threw out everything we planned for my big sister's graveside service and handled it however they wanted to. They assigned our guests as pallbearers, when we had given them a list of who would be doing it. Had the few of us not ran to the casket, our right to carry my sister to her final resting place would've been taken from us. As it was my younger sister, who had to step away for a moment while people were still being seated. I kept repeating that we had to wait for her but he kept telling me no, we had to go. We were given no choice by this man who knew absolutely nothing about us or our beliefs and apparently knew nothing about our arrangements. We had not even seen him before the day of the funeral. Even my mother heard him refer to my deceased sister as a "heavy one". While standing right next her, as she's grieving the loss of her eldest daughter. All of these things seem small and petty. But they're things that can never be fixed or done over. However, they can be avoided. Do not use this company, if you truly care about your loved ones.”
