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
“Building is clean and nice however unfortunately I've been to 3 funerals there in 3 months. First visit we came there to find the entrance blocked because parking was full and I told the *head guy* that I had a handicap ♿️ person in a wheelchair and would like to drop them off near the front he refused so I pulled just pass the entrance to unload the wheelchair and person when I was approached by the same guy who said you can't PARK there!! I said I'm unloading a handicap person what the he'll is wrong with you?? 2nd funeral I sat on the right side as you enter the funeral parlor seating area and moments before the service started they asked that anyone not family move to the adjacent room so not a huge deal but nice if they had someone directing people where to sit. 3rd time I go straight to be seated in the adjacent room before hand knowing they will asked us to move. I walk in the room to be seated, 2 guys finishing up the last row of chairs one guy says you gotta get outta where I said we'll last visit he they made me move to this room. The bigger built guy said get outta this room you can seat anywhere you want and I'll guarantee you won't asked to be moved. Well I'll be dammed if they didn't come straight to me and say if your not immediate family you gotta move, well being WHITE it's easy to assume I was not immediate family so again I got up and moved. A immediate family member said you are family you don't have to move no where. I said I know but only by marriage so I better move. Moving wasn't a huge issue it was the approach that was the issue. Besides the light skin guy that runs it and the large built guy the rest of the staff were very nice people. 2 sides to every story so I'd love to hear their's.”

“Thank you A.L. Bennett and Son and the entire staff. From the moment my mom who passed away at home was picked up to the end of the Funeral service and beyond my family and I received nothing but the most professional and compassionate service I could have ever imagined. My mom had been under Hospice for some time and I was fearful and dreading when this call would have to be made but your staff removed all concerns and burdens from this part of the process immediately. I could never express my appreciation and gratitude enough. Thank-you and GOD Bless!”
