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
“A Life Celebration by Franklin provided our family with exceptional care during one of the most painful moments of our lives. Mrs. Franklin was incredibly supportive and patient, guiding us gently through every detail and offering comfort when we needed it most. Her kindness made a world of difference. Mr. Barry always found a way to put a smile on our faces, even through the grief. His warm personality and gentle humor brought small moments of relief during a very heavy time, and we are truly grateful for that. Ms. Kirsten was super friendly and extremely helpful from start to finish. She answered every question we had regarding my grandmother’s funeral, and she did so with patience and understanding. She even listened to my crazy humor—knowing it was my way of coping—and never made me feel judged or alone. Her compassion and willingness to be present with us meant so much. Together, their team created an atmosphere of genuine care, respect, and comfort. We couldn’t have asked for better support, and we highly recommend A Life Celebration by Franklin to any family in need of compassionate, heartfelt service.”
