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
“Daphne and her team did a wonderful job with my father’s service. I had no idea how to handle any of his affairs, but they knew exactly what we envisioned and made the service beautiful. I believe the package they offered was affordable and they had every detail covered. They made a very difficult time in our lives as easy as possible. I am forever grateful to them!”
— Danielle Tarpley
“We had a death caused by an accident just before Christmas 2024. I traveled from Florida to take care of the arrangements. I had no idea who to call in Shreveport and a friend of the family recommended Forest Park. A director from one of the other facilities showed up on a very rainy day on December 26 to help me. Courtney Johnson was professional, courteous, and gave me peace of mind. I will never forget his smiling face and caring attitude. Thank you for your assistance. God bless you Courtney.”
— Linda Mcclellan
“Ms. Daphne helped my family so much. She truly was a Godsend. My mother passed away suddenly and we had no idea what we were doing. She helped us through anything and everything that we wanted. Our mother looked beautiful and the service was wonderful. I highly recommend Daphne. She is part of our family now it feels like.”
