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
“We can’t recommend Lance at Cremation Center of Birmingham enough. He handled the entire process with our loved one with incredible care and compassion. Thank you so much, Lance. -The McFarlands”
— Josh McFarland
“Amy and the team made the cremation process so simple and easy when everything else going on after the death of a loved one is so hard. They were so incredibly kind and responsive. They walked me through the entire process and answered all million of my questions. It was a beautiful drive out to Woodstock to pick up my mother’s remains. Their office is very clean and felt comfortable. They were with us very quickly, and we were in and out super fast. They helped us understand next steps and confirmed what we need to do when we eventually scatter the ashes. I’m so glad we ended up using their services. Way better experience than any traditional funeral home I’ve worked with before for many reasons. Thank you all so much for your kindness and help. I appreciate you more than you know.”
— Morgen Stone
“Lance and Amy are so considerate and compassionate. They bent over backwards to accommodate our family. We did a service then had him cremated. And let me tell you they went above and beyond to help this daddy’s girl out. My heart could ease knowing they cared for him just like he was their own family member. They are the sweetest couple and helped me out since my brain was so overwhelmed. Mr Lance even officiated for me and did a superb job. Don’t waste your money, support locally owned business. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can’t even put into words how much it meant to me. You both will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️ Love the Bolton Family”
