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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“Very poor staff. I lost my mom when I was 13 I called inquiring about her ashes. The rep that answered the phone was very rude and hostile. As if I couldn’t ask these questions. Asking me questions as if when I was 13 I knew about a cremation letter. Train your staff better for people whom are grieving.”
— NaFaysha Richardson
“Michael and his staff were very professional and put our family at ease as we said our final Fairwell to our loved one. Michael made sure he stayed in contact with us the entire time, he thoroughly explained everything we needed to know as well as he went above and beyond to accommodate us with our schedule.”
— Ms. Beauty
