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
“The Powell family handled my son's funeral with such respect and dignity. I didn't know what to do in my heavy grief and they guided me through the process with such knowledge and many options. I am forever grateful as my son's funeral was so beautiful and a tribute to his life. I would recommend the Powell family at Anderson Funeral home to anyone. They are your best choice!!! Helen Hart”
— Helen Bryan
“To have a viewing of a loved one in a cardboard box, is classless and distasteful‼️ Clearly shows the compassion this company actually has for the families they service no matter how much money they may or may not have…. 0 stars if I could”
— Marc Elem
“Went here to inquire about services offered for cremation for me and my family. They were extremely helpful in understanding the process.”
— Milton
