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
“The owner of Rumi Stone has been incredibly supportive and patient with our family after my fathers’ passing in March 2025. Even when we failed in our communication, Sami provided us the space and time we needed around this big transition thru gentle reminders. Part of the grieving process is to accept the end outcome and Sami understands that to get there it is a unique journey for everyone. We met several times and he communicated clearly via phone and text to help us figure out what the process would entail and the time it would take. He delivered the stone as he promised and we feel so lucky to have crossed paths with Rumi Stone.”
— Zari A
“I needed a stone for a close family friend. Rumi Stone was recommended to me by someone from my church. I called them and they made the process of choosing a headstone very simple. The headstone was delivered to the cemetery in a timely fashion. Call Rumi Stone if you need a fast and affordable headstone.”
— Allan Pagba
“The gentleman running this business is a wonderful person. He understood my needs and knew how important it was that the stone I needed was perfect. Picking out a head stone is very sentimental and Sam really understood exactly what I wanted and delivered. The great work from Rumi Stone was greatly appreciated.”
