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.

— Matthew Norris
“We had such an amazing experience with Tim and Jimmy. They were so hospitable and caring. They went above and beyond to do what they could to help our family. My family will use them in the future.”
— Courtney Norris
“Absolutely sick of this place , they lost the paperwork for the plot my mother in law had , my husband passed unexpectedly and we were all very much grieving but she had to go in the back and look for it herself , they were trying to add more money then what was left to pay , the older gentleman helped us and we had to fix alot he kept writing stuff down wrong. They left a five inch drop on his grave after it rained for MONTHS with both me and his mom begging them to fill it , anyone could have easily broken an ankle .The part I'm most upset about is the fact they keep stealing my husband's grave decorations, there is no grass on his grave and they still keep taking his things I understand old dead flowers but they have taken expensive arrangements one day after I put them out , I have been up there twice to complain and they always say they won't do it again , it all goes on a old nasty rotten trailer in the far back and just slung into a pile of peoples loved ones belongings , I understand they need to cut grass but I keep everything tidy and out of the way , no excuse as to why my flowers can't stay for even a full day half the time. I'm convinced they are just wanting us to pay for a headstone through them cause they told us they would leave it all alone if we did.”
