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
“Our daughter was killed in a tragic traffic accident in Simpsonville, SC. A Renovation Church Pastor highly recommended Thomas McAfee Funeral Homes and said they had coordinated funerals before with them. We worked with Tim Gossett, Managing Director of the Simpsonville location of Thomas McAfee. Tim was methodical and compassionate as he talked with us about tailoring the funeral service to meet our needs and coordinating with Groce Funeral Home in Asheville, NC for the burial. Tim and his staff were very effective in working with us on preparing the obituary. We appreciate the care and attention given to the photo slide show. It was a meaningful tribute to our daughter. Another feature that Tim arranged for the service was the Nurse’s Last Call, which was a respectful and meaningful honor for her career as a registered nurse. Tim was compassionate and thoughtful. He kept us updated at various steps during the week through text or phone calls, which helped us to have peace of mind. He let us know if there was anything we wanted, he would make it happen. We would highly recommend Thomas McAfee Funeral Home to families who are going through this journey of losing a loved one.”
— Gary White
“Everyone that I dealt with was so professional and made me feel like family. During this difficult time and process, they made it so very easy. Tim and Gina were wonderful. Even after a month, over a month, McAfee is still sending me text messages and emails to check on me. McAfee truly does care about their clients and their loved ones. I can’t thank them enough.”
— Lindsay Fields
“My family and I had a very pleasant experience planning my mother's funeral. The staff were very caring and understanding and did an excellent job preparing my mom for her viewing. I could not have asked for better service. I highly recommend them to make this terrible time, a more bearable one. Thank you.”
