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.

“During one of the hardest moments in our lives, Kay’s-Ponger & Uselton Funeral Homes went above and beyond for our family. From the very first interaction, they were compassionate, patient, and incredibly understanding. Every step of the process was explained gently and thoroughly, making an overwhelming situation feel manageable and supported. Their staff treated our loved one—and our family—with the utmost dignity and care. Nothing felt rushed, and every detail was handled with thoughtfulness and respect. It was clear they genuinely care about the families they serve, not just the services they provide. We are deeply grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and steady guidance during such a painful time. I cannot recommend Kay’s-Ponger & Uselton Funeral Homes enough to anyone needing compassionate support when it matters most.”

“Ponger, Kay’s & Uselton Funeral Home cared for my family during two of the hardest times in our lives—first for my aunt, and later for my father. From the very beginning, we were met with true compassion, patience, and kindness that never felt rushed or impersonal. What initially drew me to this funeral home was Stacy Jones’ involvement in the community. Seeing her genuine care for people outside of her professional role gave me confidence that our family would be treated with the same respect and heart—and that trust was absolutely confirmed. Their attention to detail was exceptional throughout the entire process. They helped us create a meaningful celebration of life that truly reflected who my loved ones were. It wasn’t just a service—it was a life well celebrated, handled with dignity, warmth, and thoughtfulness. During a time when everything feels heavy and overwhelming, having a team that leads with compassion makes all the difference. I am deeply grateful for the care they showed my family and highly recommend Ponger, Kay’s & Uselton Funeral Home to anyone seeking truly caring and respectful service.”
