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
“The grounds aren't kept well at all but the graves are beautiful an unique a creek runs by the cemetery too I found some bones def worth a visit but management could be better I see alotta trash along veterans graves”

“The owners of this cemetery are predatory and have zero respect for the dead or the grieving families left behind. When someone has already paid for a plot and all the services that come with it you'd expect that to have been taken care of. But not to these guys! They'll slam you with ANOTHER fee just to bury the deceased at the plot that WE ALREADY PAID FOR. It's that or they will be put into a vault. What is the point of reserving a spot for burial and paying for it years in advance when they are still going to charge you more at the end of the day to actually use the spot that you already paid for. Especially since they know families will have no other choice but to pay the fee because it is an urgent matter to have someone buried. It's sickening to think that these people have been getting away with that. Even more so when they treat you poorly and have no respect for you or the fact that you just lost a family member. It's even more concerning to think that they could even disrespect the deceased even further by neglecting to tend to the grave sites out of bias toward the family. Sick people sick practices! Do not bury your loved one here...”

“If I could, I would never have buried my husband here. To begin, it was a decision made in an emergency…and because I did not use the same funeral home (owned by the same family) I was treated poorly. I was a widow in shock - bought two plots together. When I complained that the gravesite had not been "dressed up" properly - which means that the ground was just shoveled on top of the grave, not compacted or leveled - Mr S said that he was doing "his best" ( 2005) When I placed the headstone, he objected, because I did not purchase it from him. Later, I had to lay sod myself, because he would not plant grass. Farm Supply intervened and did the work, free of charge, out of respect for my late husband. 11 Yrs later - the sod has died, Mr S can't take care of things due to "drought", and I am considering disinterring my husband's remains and moving him to a better place. This has been beyond upsetting. Horrible ownership. Do not consider this for your family.”
