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 not Eakes anymore, nor is it ran with the same warmth and southern values as it once was. We have had our death certificate held for 10 weeks costing us thousands of dollars, and issues for our entire family due to issues with paperwork. This potential scenario was never communicated as a possibility, and reasonable solutions have not been pursued or accommodated. After generations with Eakes, this will be the first and last business our family or friends at our church do with sossomon funeral home. I hope y’all don’t run into this issue during your grieving process like my family did.”

“They did a great job with my sister and her 8 month unborn child. They were able to place the baby in her arms at the viewing for everyone to meet for the first time. They went above and beyond to take care of everyone's needs.”
