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 professional service my family received from Greenville Memorial Home was second to none. The funeral director Chris and his staff, specially Mrs. Judy aided us in dealing with the difficult task of arranging our father's funeral. I reside thousands of miles away on another state, and Chris and his staff's individualized care made this process less stressful. To Chris and his staff, we will always be thankful. God Bless.”

“This is the worst funeral home I’ve ever been to. The furniture and wallpaper is old and outdated, and the rooms are dark and dingy. It’s under construction, which is the excuse the staff uses for everything. There is peeling paint and broken flooring. We showed up for my aunt’s scheduled service to them still doing construction. There were boxes everywhere and crumbs on the table which they said were from a service earlier in the day. They had not cleaned and prepared for us. The handicapped bathrooms were under construction and there was no ramp, which was a problem for my handicapped family member. They only put out a small case of water and 2 tissue boxes, and throughout the wake, we had to track down the staff to get more water and tissues, instead of focusing on our loss and our guests. The staff was not present during the service, which I found strange and unprofessional. Lastly, they wiped a flashdrive we had planned to play at the service because they did not properly eject it from the tv, and then tried to blame us by saying “we brought a blank flash drive”. The staff was defensive when confronted about the conditions of the funeral home, citing excuses such as “construction” or blaming it on other funeral homes/people. They treated us disrespectfully and did not have good bedside manner when dealing with a grieving family. If you are going to keep a funeral home open during construction, at least make it look presentable when you have a scheduled service. Do not hold any services here. You will be very disappointed.”
