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.

“I made the right choice going with Martin-Hightower Funeral Home to handle the arrangements for my father. Everyone there was so attentive to my families needs especially my mother's. They handled everything from getting the information for the funeral to every detail the day of the funeral.

“I HIGHLY recommend Martin & Hightower in Carrollton as they were absolutely wonderful!!! When my mom passed a few weeks ago, I didn't know what to do about arranging a funeral as I have never had to, but Ms. Cason & Ms. Virginia and so many others on their staff made me feel like I was the only one they had to deal with.THAT is the kind of attention they gave my family! Extremely professional and so patient, it was amazing! These folks know what they are doing and are super compassionate!! I feel blessed that they worked with me and my family as this was the hardest thing to go through losing my mom. Thank you so much for everything!!! Keep doing what you're doing to help folks that are hurting and heartbroken, as it is so much needed. God bless!”
