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 contacted Betsy from The Plant Shoppe discouraged because previous inquiries from florist's turned me down since our order was small (we eloped). But Betsy didn't have a problem with that fact and she knocked it out of the park! We got a bouquet, boutonniere, and garland with pine cones for our table. Everything was perfect. I couldn't recommend her more. Thank you again!”
— Christine Pollis
“STUNNING! These flowers were for my daughter’s promotion at work, and she was blown away when they were delivered. So happy with the whole process, from ordering to delivery! Highly recommend! Best Gville florist!”
— Jill Ashton
“We found the Plant Shoppe on the internet. They had good reviews and a good selection of birthday bouquets. We picked one for our granddaughter and less than 2-hrs. later on a holiday the flowers and balloon were delivered. Their communication was flawless...they acknowledged the order, we got a call letting us know they did not have the balloon we had picked but had already sent us a picture of the replacement, we then got a text that the order was out for delivery and a final text that the flowers had been delivered. Our granddaughter loved them and we couldn't be happier to have found this florist. They have earned our future business.”
