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
“When the time comes and you are faced with all the duties of a funeral home, you realize very quickly that Mr. West does this by calling. That simply means he is fulfilling God’s purpose in his life. In doing so, him and his staff helped my brothers and our family through the extremely difficult loss of my mom. I know we are all so thankful for the empathy and love everyone showed. The staff is amazing. Real genuine human beings still exist and treat you as such. I am glad my brothers chose you. I will not cast shade on other funeral homes, where death seems to be a business just for money. This is definitely NOT the case here. All wonderful people. I would 💯 recommend to anyone. God bless you all 🙏🏻❤️”
