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
“Hickory Funeral Home is amazing. Brenda truly is amazing she made the process for planning my mother's funeral so easy for us. She even called and texted us after the funeral to check in on us. I would highly recommend them they truly care about the families they serve!”
— Stacey w
“Brenda, was compassionate and understanding. She and the staff has made it easy so I didn’t have to have another thing to do, especially, while mourning my Papi. I appreciate and love the two room set up and water & tissues available. They helped me to fulfill my Papi’s wishes at the viewing. After my Papi’s cremation, the staff drove to my house to hand me the urn & charms selected. It all was so helpful for me, and they were angels in my time of need. Thank you again for everything, and I definitely recommend to anyone I know! 🥲”
— Denise Oyola
