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
“I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional support and compassion my family received from your staff following the recent, unexpected loss of my father. When I first called your office late on a Saturday, I spoke with Mrs. Santana. She was incredibly sweet and patient, taking the time to answer all of my questions until I felt comfortable ending the call. She reassured me that Perry J Brown Funeral Home would be able to assist my family with whatever we needed, and she was absolutely right. When my father transitioned, Mrs. Angela Hargrove took care of my family as if we were her own. I cannot thank her enough for her compassion, warm hugs, and incredible attention to detail. Mrs. Angela ensured a seamless process by introducing me to the next team member I needed to work with, and she always followed up exactly when she said she would. While she may have just been doing her job, the level of personal attention she provided made an incredibly difficult process feel a little easier. The mortician who took care of my father also did an amazing job; he looked just like himself. Additionally, the professionalism displayed by Mr. Ahmad Blair while assisting my family was truly outstanding. While times like these are never easy, the comfort and professionalism provided by the entire team at Perry J Brown Funeral Home were greatly appreciated and made a significant difference for my family.”
