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
“During one of the most difficult times in our lives, the staff at this funeral home showed us an incredible level of kindness, compassion, and care. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family, not just clients. Every detail was handled with patience and genuine empathy, which brought us comfort during our time of loss. They took the time to listen, guided us through every step, and made sure our loved one was honored with dignity and respect. Their support meant more to us than words can express. We are deeply grateful for their professionalism, warmth, and understanding, and we highly recommend them to anyone needing compassionate care during such a hard time. The staff showed an exceptional level of care and attention to detail that went far beyond our expectations. They were genuinely kind-hearted people who treated our family with warmth and sincerity during such a painful time. What touched us even more was that their care didn’t end after the service. They reached out several times following the funeral just to check on our family and make sure we were doing okay. That level of compassion is rare and truly shows how much they care. They went above and beyond in every way, and we will always be grateful for their kindness and support HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you Jimmy and Belinda for the exceptional service.”

“I really leaned on Jimmy @ Fairdale McDaniel when my Mom passed this year, just like he was a resourceful member of the family. I've heard funeral homes really help you on what to do next, but mostly, Fairdale-McDaniel took care of a lot of those things for us. Their facility was perfect for our big family. We had the use of the facility to ourselves for two days. We weren't herded in with another grieving family like I've seen at other big box funeral homes, having to tiptoe around each other while we grieved. I felt like we were at a family members home hosting a celebration of our loved one. I felt truly supported by Fairdale-McDaniel.”

“When I lost my mother last month it was a difficult time for me and my family. I've never had to go through anything like this before so I didn't know what to expect but Jimmy and Belinda and the rest of the staff at Fairdale McDaniel Funeral Home were truly amazing. They took care of everything for us. Jimmy and Belinda we're very compassionate and understanding and they treat you like just like family. Thank you for everything you have done for my family.”
