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
“The Bell Funeral home has delivered outstandingly professional and compassionate care for my love ones for 4 generations of my family. The Grandmother, parents, sibling and most recently son. The Bell Family especially have always done the job of giving that extra special touch and care before, during and after the services. I have never been disappointed. Mrs. Bell adds a special bonus with her comforting words and follow up post services is a touch that assisted me and my family through our grief journey. They are a legacy of the Wilmington community.”

Somebody was not doing what was suppose to be done there’s a time and place for foolery but when it’s involving somebody life your suppose to make sure your on point and you guys failed to do so. No words can fix the amount of hurt you have caused.”
