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 place here is very unprofessional the staff lies and always say im call you right back in 15 minutes.I paid for a service for my love one and then it went a totally different way so when I called to ask why I paid for a service that didn't happen all they can say is we will look into it for you and get back to you. I been waiting since February 25,2024 to get an answer and to this date I only heard back from Mrs.Huff stating my husband is in a meeting and I will talk to him about this and get back to you. Still no call back from him.I have called over 15 times still no answer.Why I need to know where my money went I paid for his body to be shipped to them but instead he was cremated up there in Ohio so why did I have to buy a plane ticket? Again what did I pay for maybe they will get back to me before next week or month. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else very unprofessional way to handle a love one this way.”

“It’s hard losing a loved one, but the customer services here makes it worse. As I call to get an update on the death certificate, the female receptionist has a nasty attitude, is uncooperative and does not try to give helpful information at all. She should not be on the phone at all taking calls. I would be recommended them specifically for this fact alone that you will have to deal with her at some point.”
— D Russ
“Can I give this place -3 stars? My father’s funeral was 8/21/2020. Today is 3/1/2021 and I have yet to receive his ashes, but my sisters and I have heard every lame excuse in the books. We went to this company in heartbreak, and they have robbed us of the honesty and dignity we deserve, as the last remaining memories of our dear father. At this point, we don’t believe we will ever get his ashes.”
