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 lady, Mika, at Highland was very nice and very accommodating. We wanted Highland because my parents are there. We are so glad everything is picked out and paid for. That is one less thing for our kids to have to do when we pass. The niches were beautiful and my husband is already picking out things he wants in his. We are so happy with our decision.”
— Faye Whittington

“My husband and I just purchased a double niche for our urns. The associate who helped us was very nice and knowledgeable and the process was quick and easy. What impressed us is that they have glass niches where you can see the urn and you can decorate your niche with momentos or anything you like. The mausoleum is beautiful and the grounds are very nice”
