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
“This was my very first time visiting this historic site. What I found to be the most interesting, is it’s architectural tombs. So much time, and Effort was put into each design making each tomb and tomb stone, one of a kind. It was like being transported to a different year.... perhaps the 1800s. I’ve never been quite as intrigued as I was here! I would definitely recommend taking a light stroll. This site is free and open to the public. You will encounter at least one pan handler. They come with the territory. He said he worked for the cemetery and was asking for donations. I wasn’t carrying cash on me but he inspired me to donate to the cemetery via their website so all was well.”
