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
“Not a cemetery you wanna bury your loved ones at… I got threatened quite a few times they would call the cops on me because it was the death anniversary of my kids father and every time…. They show up to burry someone near him they ask us to leave and I refuse!!!!! Even call the own of the cemetery on me…. I don’t care we have a loved one buried here and you don’t know what it took to get everyone here at the same time… and then they wanna threaten us…. I don’t take threats easy!! Again I could go on but not a place you wanna lay your loved ones!!”

“I went with my loved ones to select a burial plot. While we were being shown the area, a female clerk spoke to John, the employee assisting us—a 79-year-old man with a hearing impairment—in a highly disrespectful and demeaning manner. She mocked him and made a disturbing comment suggesting he would be better off if he were pushed into a hole. I chose not to confront her at that moment because my mother needed the services, but I later asked John why he allowed her to speak to him that way. His response was, “I am a nobody.” I told him that this was not true, that he matters, and that no one has the right to speak to him in such a nasty and disrespectful way. It is clear that he may be afraid of losing his job, which makes this situation even more concerning. This behavior reflects bullying and verbal abuse, and I would like for this matter to be addressed appropriately.”

“Oak Grove Cemetery hours of operation does not support the working class families. Being closed on the weekends is truly a disservice to our community! Here's a simple & fair schedule suggestion: Mon - Friday 8:00AM - 6:30PM Sat - Sunday 9:00AM - 3:00PM Thank you in advance for efforts of consideration.”
