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
“When I say I was impressed by this place that is an understatement. They were amazing! TC and Renee are the absolute best! They need the big fat raises! Whats a death without some family drama and they handled it with ease. The communication was great. I had a bunch of questions and called them about 100 times and they answered each call and all my questions and helped me through the process. They feel like family now. I could not be more grateful for this place and the wonderful workers in it!”
— Savanna Hughes
“All my wishes were taken care of in a loving, caring way. So glad I have prepared for a sure event ( my death, hopefully a long way in the future). Will be so helpful for my 3 sons.”
— Joyce Collette
“These are the most caring and detailed professionals. We used them for our parents and we're so happy that we did our own pre-arrangements. It was so easy when we are not stressed or upset. Now everything is taken care of and paid in advance! Highly recommend. Jason Rosa made each decision easy.”
