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
“We buried both my parents this year, over a three month span, and required the services of this funeral home both times. The operators of this establishment were very helpful, supportive, and friendly. We were welcomed to provide personal touches to the services and our children were treated special during our time there, which was appreciated. I haven't had much experience with funerals or the providers of such formal final services, but the people here helped us through the process of both my parents burials with very little headache. I'm grateful for them.”
— Lisa McCarty
“Very good folks to do business with. No pressure, very helpful and compassionate. Also a local, family owned business is a big plus to me. I never had to deal with funeral services until 2024. They took excellent of my wife and my father. I will definitely use them again.”
— Donnie C
“Danny, Debra and Tommy were very professional, kind and caring at the sudden passing of our son. They took care of everything, even making 2 trips to Memphis to pick him up. They patiently helped my wife with his obituary, and preparing keepsake urns for us. Even though they deal with loss every day, they showed compassion and great empathy with us.They handled my Dad’s arrangement as well as my stepmother’s so we knew they were reputable. There was no high pressure sales, they took their time explaining all options and let us decide which was the best one for us. We highly recommend them.”
