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
“We lost our mom, wife, Mawmaw, GG and friend in January….I can promise you, there is not enough space to say how BLESSED we were to have Amy T. take care of us in the deepest, darkest moment in our lives. From our initial meeting with her, until gravesite service, she treated us with kindness, empathy, “love” ( and yes we felt that love from her.) And to find out that Amy was working the night momma was brought in, and Amy was the one taking care of momma, made this experience so much better/easier, Amy truly cares about her families and the deceased person. She NEVER missed a beat with us. The following days after we laid momma to rest… she was still there answering questions we had and taking care of us… I pray that Thompson funeral home knows what a GEM they have. May God Bless you always Amy. With love, The Family of Dorothy Sue “Dottie” Brown.”

“Planning a funeral and all the things that go with that is not something you look forward to doing. Unfortunately I had to do this with my siblings after losing our mom recently. The team at Brandon Thompson held our hands throughout the entire process and even after. Answering questions but also giving me info I didn't know I needed. I never felt lost in the process thanks to them. Their kindness and compassion exceeded expectations. I'm very grateful for them.”
