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 highly recommend Mrs. Mary—she is polite, professional, well-ordered, and sympathetic. There’s so much more that I can say about Mrs. Mary, but I will keep it short and sweet. This was a tough, dark time for my family and I and we are delighted that Mrs. Mary stepped in and God used her as a light to guide us. Again, I highly recommend Mrs. Mary and her service.”
— Carl Robinson
“Lola and Mary are wonderful. My dad’s funeral was 9 years ago. It was beautiful. Now it’s my mom’s turn and they have been wonderful. Definitely recommend this place.”
— Bianca marmolady
“In 2018 my mother passed away. I was calling different places to make arrangements for her before she passed away. Every place I called they simply said give us a call back when she passes away. They were so emotionless. I was so saddened. I called this place and got Mary on the phone. Mary I dont know how to tell you was so amazing. So listened to me and was so helpful and guided me every step of the way. I called her a few times trying to reassure myself right before my mother passed away. Each and every time Mary was patient and guided me. After my mother passed away everything Mary said happed exactly as that. Like other funeral homes where they take advantage of you when your loved ones die, she did exactly as promised. May God bless Mary and her daughter for helping me in my difficult time.”
