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
“Jay Parrack at Gray Brown Funeral Home is the absolute best! He went above and beyond with both of my parent's funerals (they died 2 weeks apart). He was able to explain everything well and answered all of my questions. He allowed us to use decor there to help make the services more cozy and less sterile! He even helped us take down the decor after the services! He's been a blessing in the midst of my storm! The other employees were very kind and helpful as well. I won't hesitate to recommend them or use them again in the future!”
— Vickie Smith

“I recently pre-planned my final arrangements with Gray Brown-Service Mortuary. I did this to take the burden off my family when my Lord and Savior calls me home. They made it so easy to handle this task. I never felt pressured to do something I didn’t want and highly recommend anyone planning to finalize their arrangements. Gray Brown handled my father, my mother and most recently my sister’s funeral and the funerals were beautiful. They care about you and your loved ones”
