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
“Very disappointed with this place. My grandfather has been buried here since 2002, and now my grandmother who passed last year is buried in the same location. I visit the grave every week as I did when she was alive. Today, i came to finally remove the beautiful Christmas decor and switch to Spring. The whole area was wiped out, decor, even the flower holders. Very disrespectful. Christmas decor I planned to reuse because they were in good condition. We pay thousands of dollars to bury our loved ones, and pay money to keep their area looking nice. How dare they! I called their main number, answering service answered (understood because it is Sunday), but I will definitely be calling again. Have some respect for our loved ones and the sentimental things we do for them. Below is the before, and the after.”

“My parents and grandparents are buried on this cemetery. My grandfather even worked here! I moved away and relied on having grave blankets for my parents. Thanks to Gary and his staff, who went the extra to call me i now have a blanket this year!! Thank you!!”

“Staff helpfully provided names of my relatives buried here. I live several states away and hope to visit soon. I am hoping they will be able to share copies of any documents they have regarding the purchase of the plots and interment, to add to the currently sparse family tree. I came here a few times as a child and recall it being a very peaceful, lovely place. I think it would be a nice touch if they had images of the stones associated with each plot, so I could also have some dates without traveling. A digital file with scanned documents, smartphone-quality photos of the stones, etc. would be superior service.”
