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
“Let me start by saying I would definitely use PPC again. I was a hard decision choosing where to have my Iris cremated. I know I made to right decision when I received here remains. She was returned in a small but nice wooden box with her name on it and I also received a paw imprint.”
— Linda L
“I definitely wanna say this is the best place to get your fur babies that I have passed cremated, they were so sweet with my sweet lily, she came back home in a small little box with her name on it and her paw print on a clay plaque and we asked for a lock of fur and they did just that for us! Thank you guys highly recommend them”
— Jenny Diaz
“We love this place. We have taken all of our fur babies here when they pass. They always make us feel so welcome and are gentle and caring with our sweet fur babies when the time comes. We have been using their services for many years, for our dogs and cats. They provide a beautiful wooden box for the pet ashes which is one of my favorite parts of using their service. They will even do nose prints, paw prints, and fur keepsakes. It means so much to have those little memomentos of our babies. When our large puppy dog passed they even came to pick her up and assisted in carrying her to the their van. They have been such a blessing. Highly recommend. We have used both locations, but usually go to the one by the James River Bridge off of Mercury Blvd.”
