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
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Joseph and the rest of the team. They genuinely showed care and concern for our family. Joseph walked us through the process and really went above and beyond to be there for us during this horrible time.”
— Lori Snyder
“My family has used this business after the passing of my grandmother and now my mother. The staff is always so kind, gentle, patient, and sympathetic. I worked with Alison and she treated me like a person instead of a customer and she went above and beyond to answer all of my numerous questions to ensure I had all of the information I needed.”
— Logan Taylor
“Amazing team. They were supportive and helpful during the planning and execution of our fathers arrangements. My dad in prior conversations said this was the place he wanted us to use. We were not disappointed. This was a first experience for my sister and I, it could have been a nightmare. Jodie and her team made it easy for us to get what we needed done so our dad could be remembered for the amazing man he was and the light he carried within him. I would recommend Smith NLR Funeral to anyone dealing with the loss of a loved one. My dad would have been pleased. Thank you again!”
— Charity Monroe
