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
“They do Great work here. Lots of nicely cared for donated goods. Proceeds go to help the local communities.”
— Edward II
“This place is wonderful. The volunteers who are there are very sweet members of the church. My husband & I go on a regular basis to chat with them and also find unique items. It's great because the proceeds go back to the community. They have a Compassion House that helps families that may be in need. That's a great deed. If you're looking for items to furnish your home, office, etc or items to help someone that may be in need, donate items or to simply have great conversations with the volunteers, this is the place to go. Thank you Summer Grove! May God bless you all.”
— Elaina Layfield
“Didn't go to the church. Meet for a 5k event on their parking lot with Ainsley's Angels”
— Joan Marie (Turtle)
