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
“My family has used Woody Funeral Home services for decades, but this time it was I who had the task of getting my mother's cremation services request in place. Matthew Lowery met with me at the Parham Road location. He answered every question I had, introduced all options, and with professional courtesy and patience helped me arrive at a decision that accommodated my mother's wishes. His thoroughness and no-pressure approach put me at ease throughout our meeting. I also asked for several packets of information for myself and other family members, and I highly recommended Matthew's services.”
— Mona McLemore
“The entire staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Brandon made the process of arranging the funeral feel smooth and reassuring during a difficult time. From the viewing to the graveside service, the staff took exceptional care of us and treated our family as if we were their own.”
— Annette Woolwine
“I was very comfortable speaking with Anne about my preplanning of my Celebration of Life. Being able to have a virtual, no pressure meeting was very convenient and informative. Although I hope to live for a long while, I am comfortable knowing that my children will not have to worry about making any final arrangements for me when my time comes. Never mind having to be concerned about the rising costs! Wonder customer service—highly recommend everyone to pre-plan their Celebration of Life!”
