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
“Miss Ellis is an amazing individual. She is constantly running the show, I don't know how she does it all! The kindness, patience, and understanding she showed us was more than we could have asked for. We got so lucky finding her business before we fell victim to a greedy place much closer. Thank you so much. Because of you my mother-in-law could get the final care she deserved. You have a heart of gold and starlight. I wish you and your business great and continued success. Keep being the change this world needs. You prove you don't have to be big checkbooks and Rolex watches to be a good person. Thank you so much. May you and yours always be well, happy, and successful.”

“Called to get prices and to speak to someone their cremation services and had to leave a message on a answer machine.... been two days and no call back. Lost business and definitely not going to recommend this company to ANYONE! When you have a loved one pass and you need assistance in cremation you call back your customers! Bad business!!”
— Jill Lozano
“True customer service seems to be becoming a scarce rarity nowadays. That's not the case at DSC. During a very difficult time for my family, I found Ms Ellis to be considerate, professional, conscientious, and responsive in a timely manner. If one has a need for cremation services, I heartily recommend DSC.”
