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 grandmother passed away in March she was taken to this funeral home as arranged it took 3 weeks to get her cremated and her urn buried at her family plot. During the waiting period I contacted the owner Reed a couple of times trying to figure out when the cremation would take place as he said the cremator was broken and also after it was finally done when she would be buried because I wanted to be there. He was unprofessional and one day just rude about answering me and needed up telling me if I didn’t like it I could come get her ashes and take her to someone else to do the dig and cover that was paid for in advance. Then the day he buried her he did not let me know until it was done as I had stated several times I wanted to be there. He sent a video instead. Obtaining the certificated death certificate for my uncle was also a mess as reed did not explain the process it takes to go through to get it in the mail and sent off. This whole experience with this funeral home has been unprofessional rude and sad. I will never refer anyone to them or have a loved one buried by them. It’s so terrible this happened the way it did and my grandmother was buried without anyone to be there.”

— Randy Darley
“A very quiet and peaceful place to bring your loved ones as you go through your times of need. The staff was very kind and helpful and the building itself very old and brought the feeling of home.”
