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.

“Never have I experienced such a pleasant person. The professionalism is above board. In all of my trials, I felt genuinely cared for. My entire families both mine and my dear husband’s families were so very appreciative of the care we received from Brooke Kersey and her remarkable staff. I would recommend her to anyone in need of her services. To this day she is still available to me if I need to call her. She is definitely the best in the business. The most remarkable quality about her is her relationship with God, she passes down that warmth to you and let you know that you’re not alone. God bless her always.”

“On behalf of the Murray family, we wish to offer a sincere thank you to you and your associates. We never thought we would be writing a review for a funeral home; however, we lost our mother. Brooke is an excellent example of someone who helps make a devastating situation into one that is filled with care. She truly makes you relax and calm to be able to deal with a death of a loved one. Her experience and guidance enabled us to honor our Mother, Maude, in a very fitting farewell. Thank you for making this a peaceful experience for our family.”
