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
“When my mom passed I was going to use a different funeral home but they didn't call me back and I'm glad they didn't the Latney family answered my first call and things went smoothly from that one first call even when I thought I was calling too much Ms Latney assured me I wasn't and told me to relax because everything was going to be okay they had everything under control and they did. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to be treated like a family member and not just a customer.”
