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
“I couldn’t recommend Piney Woods Mortuary & Cremation Services more! I called them for a removal, embalming, and delivery for my funeral home a few days ago and to my delight, an answer after the first ring AND the person answering the phone was a licensed funeral director and embalmer (no answering service)!!! They were swift and professional, the embalming work was exquisite, and they delivered the deceased the next morning to my funeral home! I will definitely be using them again and would recommend them time and time again.”
