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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“The staff is incredibly understanding and compassionate. When dealing with a devastating or unexpected loss kindness and compassion matters. They walked me through the process step by step and kept me informed. They made the process easier to deal with down to the last tiny details. I can't say enough for staff that has to deal with loss every day but still makes you feel like your loved one and family is important. You are not treated as a number or a case, so when I had to deal with the unimaginable it was much easier knowing everything was taken care of for me. They have been amazing and have even reached out in the weeks since to see if my family needed anything. Thankful I chose the Mid Ohio Valley Cremation Society for our family's needs.”

“At a time of great loss. The people at Mid-Ohio Cremation Society in Parkersburg were a great help to me. My mother had always been clear in not wanting any kind of memorial services and wanting to be cremated. This company made it affordable and were very understanding. They offer a nice program to help with costs by becoming a member ahead of time. I intend to do the same for myself. At a time when you are dealing with such loss and all the hospital bills and the arrangements for everything, they are a great help.”
— Ed Crane
“The staff was wonderful with my family during this difficult time. They gave us "gentle" truths and insured we had privacy during the decision making process.”
