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
“They are very professional and they care. They will work for you, making this time of unbearable sadness and grief as less stressful as possible. They are family oriented. When you come there they treat you like family, truly!!! They actual answer your calls and if they miss it they get right back with you as soon as possible. Answering every question and explaining every detail. They're patient and have positive vibes, but it isn't overbearing or annoying. They are reasonable in price and aren't trying to take you for all you have as a grieving family like a lot of places do. They also will help you with planning what is inevitable for all of us. They have different packages you can pay on now. All I can say is the experience we had with this funeral home, this family, was such a beautiful and needed experience when we lost our loved one. They are black owned and service the community but they love and respect all no matter your demographic.”

They made sure all of our wishes were respected and took the time to explain the options available to us, never rushing us or pressuring us in any way. The funeral services were handled with the utmost dignity and respect. Their attention to detail and their heartfelt commitment to helping families are truly appreciated.”
