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
“Today marks one year since my mother’s passing, and it has taken me this long to find the strength to write this review. Grief has a way of slowing everything down, but one thing I have carried with me over this past year is deep gratitude for the care I received from the entire staff at Howard K. Hill Funeral Services. From the very beginning, they treated me with warmth, patience, and genuine compassion. They listened not only to my words, but to my heart. During one of the most painful moments of my life, they guided me gently through every step without pressure or urgency. They spoke to me with such kindness, fully aware of how broken I was, and at no point did I feel rushed or overwhelmed. Every request I made was taken seriously and honored with respect. When I brought my mother’s clothes, socks, and personal items for her final preparation, they dressed her beautifully. Seeing how carefully they honored her meant more to me than words can explain. What truly touched me was how much they cared beyond just doing their job. They checked on me, which surprised me in the most comforting way. Even more meaningful, they remembered my mother’s birthday. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and unforgettable. One year later, I can say with complete peace in my heart that I have no regrets. They honored my mother with dignity and supported me with compassion when I needed it most. To the entire team at Howard K. Hill Funeral Services, THANK YOU for serving my family with such care, patience, and humanity. Your kindness will never be forgotten. With sincere gratitude. Charma-Lee”

“It was a very comforting experience considering. It felt like a family meeting. There was no pressure to commit instead we were encouraged to take our time to make a decision(s). LaDawn was always available to answer questions / provide information and they were always accommodating no matter what our requests were. When they say they treat you like family.. that is a kept promise! It was a nice surprise, they created a cover of my brother-in-law that embodied his love of sports. It was a nice touch on the big screen”
