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.

“Pitts Funeral home staff was very helpful, professional, and caring. Being a Bishop and minister who has been involved with more families than I can count and helping with their behind the scenes for their love ones I have been truly great full for their spirit. When it came time for my mother, she had informed me in advance that she wanted Pitts Funeral home to be in charge. The staff at Pitts took all my concerns away and gave me and my family the opportunity to come together and grieve. I found a peaceful reassurance with them taking care of my mother who I love. I cannot thank them enough for all they do. God bless the staff.”
