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
“We are very, very, very, very satisfied with the service provided by Thompson Mortuary Service in Atlanta. During an extremely difficult time for our family, their team was incredibly available, responsive, and supportive. They truly did not count their hours and were always ready to help whenever we needed assistance. They handled all mortuary operations with great professionalism and care — retrieving the body from the hospital morgue, arranging transportation, bringing the deceased to the funeral home, and managing every administrative step required for the international repatriation of the body to Europe. This process is complex and emotionally challenging, but they guided us through it with clarity and compassion. They coordinated with consulates and all the necessary organizations, and even procedures that normally take three to four days were completed in just one day thanks to their efficiency. A special thank you to Nykeya, who took personal responsibility for making sure everything went smoothly. She treated our situation with genuine care and dedication, and we truly felt supported every step of the way. We highly, highly recommend Thompson Mortuary Service to anyone in need of professional, compassionate, and reliable funeral services.”
