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
“My husband went into hospice and we had no planning done. A family member offered to reach out to clergy friends for recommendations and they almost all came back with McCrery & Harra (M&H). From the start, they were so easy to work with ... A phone call with Rick, many texts (leisurely requested). There was a lot of easy back and forth to do as much in advance as possible. When my husband passed, the gentlemen who came from M&H were so respectful. The funeral director (Nick) was considerate, respectful and low pressure; I am blind and don't drive; he came to us which lowered my stress level immensely. We set a date for the service, opted to do a celebration of life off-site and Rick came. He and his colleague were empathetic, thoughtful, helped with logistics. They were ALMOST magic. They were there when we needed them and invisible when we did not. They remembered every little detail. They were meticulous in completing paperwork and getting me death certificates and whatever I needed. I cannot say enough good things about M&H. Under my worst circumstances, they exceeded my every expectation, anticipated my needs and my family's needs with respect, kindness and compassion. I highly recommend McCrery & Harra without reservation.”

“Our family has used McCrey & Harra three times. The staff is great. They are caring and compassionate taking time to make all the arrangements in ways that are meaningful to the family. Everyone there goes out of their way to guide you through one of the most difficult and emotionally trying times. I have recommended them to others and can't say enough good things about them.”
— Elizabeth Biden
“This was my first time having to deal with a funeral so, I have nothing to compare this experience to any other. I can tell you, Bill and the rest of the staff were phenomenal!!! They communicated every step, they dressed and accessorized my mom exactly how I wanted her to be. It was a perfect ending to an already horrible day. Thank you so much for a beautiful experience and God bless every one of you!”
