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
“I've met with Whites Mortuary about 3 years ago upon recommendation from my cousin and others who mentioned Whites name. Upon noticing the "Pray First" plaque on the desk, I knew I wanted to utilize their pre-planning services when the time would come for my mother. Well, the time came Jan. 16, 2026, when my mother transitioned; I received great compliments of how mother was presented during the viewing, the throw blanket and programs that represented her so well. I appreciate all that Whites Mortuary has done and will highly recommend.”

“Mr. White and staff were very friendly and accommodating.They also were comforting and compassionate. They allowed me and my family to choose what we were comfortable with. Also, allowed me to paint my grandmothers nails , and allowed her to get her hair done they day before the funeral. My grandmother looked beautiful!”
