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
“I want to express my deep gratitude to Mike and his team for making this saddest of days a time of rejoicing. Mike is the utmost professional and yet, caring and compassionate. He went to great lengths to make sure everything was just right and catered to our needs. He even went above and beyond his duties when he made sure my Dad's military ceremony video was uploaded to the funeral website even though he was away on a family vacation! That kind of dedication and work ethic is rare to say the least and proves that this isn't just a job to him, he cares deeply about the people who are looking to him for assistance in their time of need. Mike arranged the military ceremony with Albert G. Horton Veterans Cemetery and was in constant contact with us each step of the way. Everything went off without a hitch! I 200% recommend Strickland & Family Cremations & Funeral Services if you are looking for honesty, caring and compassion!”

“Geoff was very respectful, sympathetic, kind and professional during one of the most difficult, unexpected times for our family. He was very knowledgeable and helped guide us on necessary steps. Not only the cremation process, but everyday responsibilities that we wouldn’t have thought about otherwise. It was very comforting to our family knowing that Geoff personally escorted our mom from the hospital to the funeral home. The financial aspect is the last thing anyone wants to think about in these situations, however the services were very reasonably priced.”
— Kristen Howie
“My father passed this week and he and Mike had been friends for years. My father was a pastor and performed services for Mike’s funeral home when the family had no one. He and Mike became good friends. Mike and his family have guided us through this process with the utmost care and kindness. They are special people and we are so grateful to have them care for our family in our time of need. Thank you just isn’t enough.”
