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
“My mother in law passed away a couple weeks ago and my husband and I were charged with the daunting task of planning her funeral. There's more than you think that goes into planning a funeral but thankfully we had Anna Williams. She made everything so much easier. She has a peaceful presence about her that really helps ground you. She helped us every step of the way. She was absolutely amazing. I even had people that attended the service tell me how impressed they were with the service and with Anna. My parents even hope Anna is still working there the day they will unfortunately require her services, hopefully many years from now. She took care of every little detail with/ for us and has even called to check on us a couple times since the funeral. Thank you Anna for really being there for us when we needed you. You truly did take a tragic moment and make it so much easier for us. Thank you.”

“Kintrell Harris showed so much empathy and care from the first handshake. By far very professional throughout the whole process. This was a very difficult time for our family and Kintrell made the process beyond easy and full of heart. We felt like our father and us were in excellent care the entire time. Highly Recommend”
— Michael Hibben
“In our search to find a partner funeral home that could help us in transferring a family's loved one from Chesapeake, VA to Oklahoma City, OK, Anna Williams far exceeded our expectations. Knowing that we didn't have a home location in the area that could assist, we began our search and started reading google reviews. After reading the many amazing reviews at Altmeyer- Chesapeake Chapel, especially those that mentioned Anna, I knew right away that Altmeyer served families in the exact same way that we serve families at our funeral home. I was also lucky enough to have Anna helping me every step of the way. There was not a single step missed or overlooked. In fact, I expressed to her more than once that I've never seen someone be able to work so fast and efficiently. Her sense of urgency and incredible attention to detail meant that the family could move forward with services much sooner than even I expected. Everything was absolutely perfect. Our entire experience in working with Anna was a breath of fresh air. We were blessed with the same Anna that grieving families get every day. She is one-of-a-kind and absolutely amazing.”
