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
“Planning a funeral can be a challenging task, but Mr. Byrd and his exceptional staff makes it so seamless. This was my second time working with these great people and there was not one need or want that wasn’t met. My loved ones were treated with so much care from the staff they looked to be merely sleeping. He coordinated with the presiding ministers, church, and family so smoothly. He was patient and naturally comforting. He prayed over us on multiple occasions. He has become family. We appreciate and love him and his staff. THANK YOU!”

“it took me a few days to try to write something in this review because there is so much that happened surrounding my father finally being at peace. I couldn't just leave a " great service " comment or review. this is from my heart. I would like to tell anyone who is looking for a funeral home that Mr Byrd and his assistant are the most caring people with genuine hearts and compassion. I decided to transfer my father from one funeral home to Celebrations of life because of some family issues and disputes that unfortunately sometimes come up when a loved one passes away. I did exactly what my father would have wanted including supporting a black owned business. I called and asked if they could help me with my situation. Mr. Byrd returned my call the next day and transferred my dad that same day from a funeral home that had him for more than 30 days and also offered to assist with anything else I may need for my father to be at peace . when he retrieved my father he began the process that should have been done weeks before. The professionalism is 5 stars as well as their hearts.”

“Wow!! I haven't had an experience with this company, but I think it is just HORRIBLE that they were selling a used casket on FB marketplace, as a Halloween prop!! That's absolutely horrendous!! And they were ripping off the casket supplier. So shameful. I'm so glad they were exposed by Channel 9 news, and that their license were revoked!! I hope the are NEVER allowed to be in the mortuary business again!! My prayers to the mother of the young lady's mother, whose casket was being sold. Notice how they respond to good reviews, but the "true color" reviews the call a scam. They're the scam!!!”
