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
“The employees at Hamlett-Dobson Funeral Home were there for me when I lost my mother. They handled everything with the upmost respect and professionalism in this time of my life when I was lost in what to do. I only had my mother's wishes wrote down because we never made it to do our living will together. They were sincere and honorable throughout the process. This is where my family and friends turn to during the lost of a loved one and I will carry on the tradition of using Hamlett-Dobson for my end of life and my family's. Thank you Madeline and Elizabeth for everything. Thank you for the numerous calls and check ups to make sure I am ok.”
