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 were one of three cremation services that Hospice recommended to me after my beautiful husband passed away in Jan. of 2026. After speaking to all three companies I chose Affordable Crematory because they treated me with respect and dignity during the most stressful and confusing time in my life. They were very professional and helpful during the entire experience”
— Pj Wallis
“Negative stars if i could. Christine very unprofessional, cussing at my mom and talking to her very unprofessional and ugly. I had to get the phone from her and speak on her behalf because, my mom was dealing with traumatic event and those people were rude to her. Never go through them. And charging 1700$ for a simple cremation? Then saying I cant call with info for my mother , please don't so services with them. Horrible Horrible Horrible”
— Sandra Margarette
“They were compassionate and caring. Explained everything to me clearly. My wife's ashes were given to me in a timely manner. I couldn't be happier short of having her still with me.”
— Mike Baez
