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
“When my 16 year old child had passed away very suddenly last year, I was in complete shock. I couldn't bear the idea of even setting eyes on a funeral home. Martin made the worst of situations possible to navigate when he drove to our home so that he could explain the process, as well as have me sign the paperwork. He respected the simplicity of our requests for the remains, and never tried to steer us toward spending more than necessary, as we were paying out of pocket. There were also certain complicated aspects in the paperwork that made me sick with panic and anxiety, but Martin was resolute as he liaised with all proper channels, and it ultimately resulted in a timely resolution. For that he will always have my appreciation and a special place in my heart. When the cremains were ready, Martin drove to bring my child to me, on the evening of Valentine's Day. He made us all feel safe and comforted, and I felt my child would have positively loved his energy. Despite my biggest fear becoming reality in losing my child, I couldn't have wished for a better person to handle these dreadful, but necessary tasks. This has been the most comforting experience I have ever had with a funeral home, and while I hope to never require his services again, death is a part of life, so this will be the place I will turn to. I wholeheartedly recommend the Martin Taylor Funeral Home. Thank you so much for everything you did - I will never forget it.”

“I highly recommend trusting your loved ones with the Martin family. My grandma, Ms Carrie Bell Steed, 1930-2025, was treated like royalty at this funeral home. My family showed up to the Home Going Celebration and everything was taken care of with precision planning and executed with perfection. Everyone was amazed at how Grandma looked and the treatment of our family was top notch. Mr. Martin is a kind soul and very professional. I also want to applaud his employees, too. Everyone involved in Grandma's care, God bless you abundantly and thank you very much!”
