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
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ McDowell Family Funeral Home cared for my father, Danny Ray Hanks, and I cannot put into words how extraordinary this experience was during the hardest time of our lives. Mr. McDowell and Chris went above and beyond in ways I have never seen. They worked with our family on pricing without hesitation, and my mother was gifted the most beautiful airbrushed photo (attached to this review) along with an absolutely stunning guest book. Mr. McDowell even went as far as personally purchasing the casket spray for my daddy even though he was a cremation with a viewing and full service. That alone speaks volumes about the kind of people they are. I have worked in the hospice field for 25 years, and I can honestly say I have never seen a funeral home do what McDowell Family Funeral Home did for my father. My dad looked like my dad. He was treated with dignity, respect, and genuine care every step of the way. Chris was absolutely amazing as well as compassionate, attentive, and truly gifted at what he does. If you are looking for a funeral home to care for your loved one, look no further. This is hands down the best funeral home I have ever worked with, both personally and professionally. I promise you will not be disappointed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the amazing care of my daddy and the beautiful tribute given to my momma!”

“During one of the hardest times our family has ever faced, Mr. McDowell went above and beyond for us. The sudden loss of my Pawpaw was incredibly difficult, but Mr. McDowell took such great care of him and handled everything with compassion, professionalism, and genuine kindness. He also made sure my Nana was cared for during this time, which meant more to our family than words can express. He truly cared about our entire family and stayed on top of every detail, easing so much of the stress we were feeling. Mr. McDowell did an amazing job, and I am forever grateful for the care and respect he showed us. I highly recommend McDowell Family Funeral Home to anyone in need of compassionate and trustworthy service.”

“The Best services yet. The McDowell Family Funeral Home (MFFH) took care of my hubby very well in the early part of January 2026. The services they provided was nothing but the best especially the price. This was a very tough and challenging moment already for me to have to lay my husband to rest but the MFFH made this process smooth and we couldn't have picked anyone else better. Thank you again from the Simmons and Yow Family.”
