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
“In February 2024 the City of Richmond VA assumed ownership of Evergreen Cemetery, a historically African American cemetery founded in 1891. When I visited this cemetery in 2022, I found that volunteers had cleared enough of the land for me to find my ancestors burial plot. I had the plot restored. In August 2025 I found that the Dept of Parks had taken over maintenance as evidenced by my recent photo. I rated the cemetery 3 stars because it is now maintained but not fully restored. One can safely visit without wading through thick overgrowth. This is a positive change and vast improvement from ten years ago when I couldn't find my ancestors resting place due to the overgrowth.”
— Bernard Whiting Jr
“An eerily overgrown site. Years of neglect has taken its toll. Efforts are underway to restore and save what remains of what once was. Truly sad, yet a remarkable sight to be had. If you choose to visit, please be respectful of those who are interred and to those who are putting forth efforts to save it.”
— Benjamin Judah
“A beautiful place to pay respect. It's important to notice the confederate cemetery across the street and think about why these two cemeteries look so different. Check out the volunteering opportunities! These pink flags in the second picture show the revitalization efforts of uncovering and recording graves that have been engulfed by the forest. I hope they keep the trees (forested cemeteries are THE FUTURE) although I am happy to support whatever revitalization efforts suit the local community and family members of the deceased.”
— Christopher Risch
