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
“I would like to take the time today to share the loving care that Ballweg and Lunsford Funeral Home. This is the sixth time that we have dealt with them the Last two times we have had Jason Brushnell. Jason has gone above and beyond for my family, the care, respect, and Going above and beyond is truly a blessing. He makes the whole process so much easier for a situation that could be very sad and depressing, but working with Jason is far from that I would highly recommend going to Baldweg and Lunsford., And DeWitt Memorial. They are reasonable friendly and do a wonderful job with your loved ones that have passed on. So again Jason for the sixth time thank you from all of my family.”

“We unexpectedly lost my husband’s father this week, and had no plans in place, we ended up at A. Dewitt funeral home, and “T” was extremely knowledgeable, comforting, helpful and patient, went above the job description to help us make the accommodations easier for us. ( even putting our scriptures in Spanish) without draining our pockets or making us feel like they just wanted money. The entire staff was welcoming and supportive while we laid him to rest. The funeral homes overall appearance itself is a little outdated but had A homey feeling, and was very clean. Obviously we don’t plan on loosing any one else, but if in the event we do, we will definitely be using them or recommending them. I can’t thank them enough for their compassion during this difficult time. - Rodriguez Family.”
