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
“I was very pleased with all the attention to detail and courtesy that Charles W. Smith & Sons provided. There are no words to fully express my gratitude for the extraordinary care and dedication. One of the biggest things is my dad was a long haul trucker and on the video screen with all his pictures they created an intro of him driving a truck, it was above and beyond. Most would have just thrown the pics together, but they made it memorial. The care that they took in creating a beautiful portrait was also exquisite. Thank you for all you did for our family. I would highly recommend this funeral home to anyone who needs the least stress and the best hospitality.”

“It’s been about 8 years since I’ve had to meet with a funeral director about a loved one and I must say that Raini Day was an exception. She didn’t mind answering all of the many questions our family had about the services. My biggest concern was that my sister [Janet Sebile] looked like herself and if she did not I did not want an open casket. I must say that Raini exceeded my expectations and she will never know how important that was to me, so I’m eternally grateful. I want to personally Thank the staff for being so kind to our family during the services. Several of my family members stated how nice it was that the staff opened other rooms to make our family comfortable. To all of the kind staff at Charles W Smith in Sachse I say Thank you and God Bless you all! Farrell Tezeno”

I am especially grateful to Rainy Day, who was entrusted with the sacred task of dressing and presenting my son to me one last time. There are no words to fully express my gratitude for the extraordinary care and dedication she put into making him look more beautiful than ever. Her compassion and attention to detail brought me a measure of peace in an unimaginably difficult moment, and for that, I will be forever thankful.”
