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
“Mom passed away in N.C. and Townes works with another Funeral Home to get mom! They drove from VA to take mom back home! We knew she was in the best hands ever and never worried! From the beginning they showed compassion, support, love and understanding! I would highly recommend Townes to everyone!! Thank you for everything!!!”
— Joanna Stephanos
“A few weeks ago one of our oldest ferrets Ghostie crossed the rainbow bridge and we’re just over the moon how compassionate and wonderful the entire Townes Funeral family was for us. Keith Motley went above and beyond to guide us through the process and our experience was above and beyond what we’ve received for our other ferrets in the past. When the day comes we have to say goodbye to any of our other loved ones - furry or human - Townes Funeral Home will always have our business. We’ll be recommending Townes to all the pet parents we know. Thank you again!!”
— The Floof Family

The answering service quickly responded and in a very short time I was contacted by Keith.Motley. Keith assured me that my needs would be met and showed me so much compassion during my grief. I will without any doubt seek out his assistance should the need ever arise again. He has gone above and beyond in assisting me throughout my ordeal. Thanks for all of your help.”
