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
“From the moment of choosing Central Cremation Center services, they helped me with everything to take care of all my dads needs after passing. With transportation to picking up my dad's remains and even filling the urn and necklace urns. Very caring and compassion with professionalism. I would definitely use their services again and definitely recommend. Thank you all very much.”
— Chrissy Larkin
“I wished I could give Central Cremation Center a positive comment, but this wasn't the case in our situation. This company advertises Pet Crematory and also that they are open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Unfortunately our Fur baby past away on Saturday at our home. Always thinking when this day came we would use the Creamation Center for our special Yadi. We called the phone number and spoke with an answering service for the company, and they assured me someone was On Call and call me. We called 3 times and had 3 different people that assured us someone would call us. No one ever did, or has. In our time of grief and waiting for help to take care of our baby as we wished of having his remains saved and no response, we had to go a different direction. I would not recommend to anyone. Their person "On Call" person, was AWOL.”
— Connie Janvrin
“I so regret using this company. Ive been taken advantage of in my time of mourning. From hidden charges to being told by Tony that i was told things i wasnt. My mother still lays in a freezer for the past 6 days. They have been paid and still they do nothing. One person say one thing and the other something totally different. Ive lost my mom and been taken advantage of. Dont use these people unless you dont care for your loved ones I so regret calling them.”
