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
“Columbia Pet Cremation was truly incredible during one of the hardest moments of my life. They were patient, kind, professional, and timely. Even during a snowstorm. They took such good care of my big fur baby, Candy, and treated her with so much respect throughout the entire process. Wilenda was unbelievably kind and never rushed me. She took her time, answered all of my questions (and then some), and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. Dr. Ortman was knowledgeable, gentle with Candy, and walked us through the process with compassion and care, which made an overwhelming experience feel manageable. The chapel is beautiful, and the front entrance is welcoming and cozy. They offer treats for your companion, a variety of keepsake options, and, most importantly, they give you plenty of time and space to process everything while you’re there. Nothing felt rushed or transactional. I truly cannot thank them enough for their generosity, compassion, and kindness during such an extremely difficult time. I will forever be grateful for the care they showed both Candy and my family.”

“My husband and I took our first pet Binx here to be cared for and we were met by so much compassion and grace. Kevin is truly outstanding and gave us our space to grieve. We left an email Friday and they called us the next morning and allowed us to come in same day to put Binx to rest. Kevin went absolutely above and beyond for us and made this whole unfortunate situation feel a little less sad. We appreciate everything you did for us and for our fur baby Binx and will never forget it!”

“I had to get my beautiful cat put down on July 3rd, not sure if I wanted to bury her or get her cremated. I called Columbia pet cremation center and was able to bring her in that day. Eric was very professional, friendly and welcoming and took us through prices and paperwork. I could not have asked for any better service. I brought her in a cardboard box and they put her in a nice small opened casket so I can see her one more time instead of being inside box. This place treats you and your animal above and beyond. Thank y’all so much! If I could give y’all 10 stars I would.”
