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
“This is one of the first families I had the pleasure of meeting when I moved to Morgantown 6 years ago. The Morgantown community and surrounding area is blessed to have such kind people committed to serving them with genuine compassion and grace.”
— Brad Pershing
“I have not had the full pleasure to deal with them directly. I can say my entire family has used them for at least 5 funerals over the years. Seeing how a recent friend went through so much heartache and turmoil with this funeral home, we are taking our business elsewhere. I understand there are 2 sides to every story, but having had seen and been there for my friend during the ordeal; I can't in good conscience recommend this funeral home. Very rude and belittling behavior.”
— Eric James
“Everyone went above and beyond to make our difficult time easier. Beautiful place and wonderful family!”
— Crystal Cox
