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.

“Losing my mother was the most difficult experience of my life, but the care and compassion shown by Jones Funeral Home brought a sense of peace during an incredibly painful time. From the very first phone call, their staff treated our family with warmth, respect, and sincere empathy. Every detail of the service was handled with such professionalism and grace. They listened closely to our wishes, honored my mother’s memory beautifully, and helped guide us through each step with patience and understanding. Their kindness extended beyond logistics—it felt personal. They truly made us feel like we weren’t alone. I’m deeply grateful for the dignity they gave to my mother’s final farewell and for the quiet strength they offered our family in those difficult days. My mother looked beautiful and so peaceful, adding her purse and lipstick meant so much to us. Thank you, Joseph and Leigh for helping us celebrate her life with love and respect.”
