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
“We had a lovely end of life celebration for my father - warm and respectful - but overall this business has a pretty casual attitude towards administrative tasks and customer service. The homey family atmosphere (dogs wandering around the office, etc.) feels comfortable and familiar - like home - but it comes back to bite you when you realize that this business is responsible for critical, important details that must be done correctly. For example: handling your loved one's cremated remains in a precise and professional way. Another example: getting papers filed correctly with the government so that the family receives an accurate certificate of death, which you'll need in order to handle your loved one's financial affairs. So if you're lucky and everything goes smoothly you'll have a lovely experience with Greene Funeral Home. But don't leave it to chance: check, double check and triple check their work when it comes to administrative/logistical details. If you're not up to doing this (and you might not be if you're dealing with the loss of a loved one) then go elsewhere.”

“The staff at Greene Funeral Home were absolutely amazing, considerate, compassionate, helpful, empathetic and very professional when I needed to plan my mother's funeral service. The level of care and compassion that Greene Funeral Home displayed for myself and our family was beyond appreciated. Greene Funeral Home also assisted our family with funeral services of my late uncle (my mothers oldest brother) who passed away in 2013. That experience and professionalism alone left a positive lasting impression on our family, and why we chose to have our mother's funeral services there as well! On behalf of myself and my family, we are very grateful for Greene Funeral Home and the staff. Thank you Greene Funeral Home once again, we appreciate you all for your help, assistance and patience.”

“My father passed away in late Sep'20, and Greene Funeral Home took care of my family. We were recommended to Greene Funeral Home through a family friend. They were very understanding, they helped with the logistics of everything. I had some very emotional family members with me, and they handle everything calmly. Thank you for your help during these stressful times”
