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 HIGHLY recommend McHoul Family Funeral Home because when facing one of the most sad times in our lives Tom and his staff treated us with sincere kindness and guided us through planning my precious Mom’s funeral. Tom and his staff are truly angels. From the moment Tom answered the phone through the conclusion of my Mom’s service, everyone we interacted with was kind, helpful and respectful. My Mom’s funeral was beautiful and Tom and McHoul made a sad time brighter. The location is extremely convenient, the layout is lovely and we were able to customize the space to make special details to honor my Mom. I’m sorry for your loss if you are here reading reviews to choose a funeral home but I know Tom and his staff can help ease the sadness by helping provide a beautiful service to honor a loved one.”

Tom, the main person we were in contact with, was very empathetic and understanding. He ensured that our experience was smooth and he went above and beyond to accommodate our request. He seemed to to be available for us at anytime and kept us fully informed every step of the process. I highly recommend this funeral home for your funeral needs. -The Boyce family”

“The McHoul Family Funeral Home has been amazing to me and my family. In the midst of already dealing with hardship and sorrow, Tom, the main person we were in contact with, was very empathetic and understanding. He ensured that our experience was smooth and he went above and beyond for us. I can’t thank him enough for being so kind to my family. I highly recommend this funeral home for your funeral needs. Especially for the Vietnamese community, Tom was awesome. I was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to find a culturally competent funeral home for my Vietnamese family but I was overjoyed with this service. They are professionals with working with the Vietnamese community and have connections in Vietnam as well. 11/10 experience, we will for sure be coming back for future services.”
