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
“Washington Funeral Home is not just a business, but more family. I had deaths of immediate family members in 2011, 2014 and 2015. Every Homegoing celebration was handled with the utmost respect. Minister Washington and the staff comforted me during those times and still 10+ years later. I would 100% recommend them to any family or friend I know. Love you all and my God continue to put a hedge of protection around this great establishment”
— Lloyd Johnson
“Last year my wife and I ordered a headstone for my Mother. At the time we purchased it, Mrs. Washington agreed to provide the service that we requested. One week prior to the service, I contacted Mrs Washington who in turn put me in touch with Mr. Washington. He informed me that they would not be able to provide the service we had agreed on because of other obligations that Washington's Funeral Home had. Mr Washington went on to say that he told Mrs. Washington that he would talk to me because he knew me. Had he "known" me, he would know that I would not accept unprofessionalism and substandard customer service. Business is business regardless of any prior interaction. Bottom line: the Washington's Funeral Home staff did not deliver the requested services that they were paid for as agreed on. I hope that no one else has to experience this with this establishment. In the future, I would go elsewhere where should I need this type of service again!”
— Furman Stevenson
