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
“This is a very well kept cemetery with a lot of historical information posted and great walking paths. It was almost entirely empty and seems a little under appreciated. 1850-1920 seems to be the peak of American funerary art. Lots of good monuments here.”
— Dave Harlan
“Incredibly beautiful historic site. Hundred year old magnolia trees in full bloom. Skip the plantation tours: this is the place to go to step back in time and experience antebellum Nashville. And it’s free.”
— ilona cohen
“For some reason I decided to visit this place on that day in April where it was like snowing... anyways regardless of the cold I am so happy that I went. I found this place by accident, but God, thank you for that! If you can visit the city cemetery make sure you do! Tomb stones from 1760s, so worn you only know it's a marker... honestly. I felt better sweet, because how relentless time is. It's only been 200 years.”
— Christian Yarbrough
