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.

“Where do I begin? Charlene and Chrissy are amazing. They went straight to business when we needed assistance with my father's funeral. They explained every detail, answered every question and soothed every worry my sisters and I had. If I could give them 10 stars I would. The place is clean, welcoming, and these woman are so knowledgeable. With all the different "hats" that Charlene wears, she's there for whatever you need her to be there for. If she doesn't know something, she will find out for you! I appreciate this Black owned business and I will definitely recommend to friends and family! Thank you again Mitchum Wilson Funeral Home Inc”
