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
“Baileys give a top of the line service. When my Dad passed they worked with everything we wanted in a service. They know how to make the planning less difficult in a time of grief. We knew Austin would take good care of daddy and he did. Any time we had a question on how to do something he very helpful.”

“Attended services at the funeral chapel 2/11/22. It was my first time here as I live 2+ hours away. The facilities were nice enough, however the unprofessional conduct by the staff and utter disregard for the family during the service was unbelievable. Upon the service starting, the representatives of the funeral home were seated just outside the chapel opening carrying on a full volume conversation. You could hear them almost as well as the preacher speaking into the microphone. A funeral attendee got up and went to slide the pocket doors shut to try to reduce some of the noise, even this action did not stop them from carrying on. Please do better for other patrons and their families. I would give zero stars if possible.”
— Karin Taylor
“***DO NOT USE THIS FUNERAL HOME*** The people are extremely rude and unsympathetic to people's feelings. Very high even on cremation services. They are also unethical as well as prejudice.”
— Crystal Kellett (Cris)
