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
“We recently entrusted Sims Funeral Home with my uncle's services, and they truly exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, Fernando and his entire staff were incredibly professional, compassionate, and easy to work with during such a difficult time. They handled every detail with care, respect, and genuine kindness, which brought our family so much comfort. We never felt rushed or overwhelmed, and their guidance made the process feel manageable and peacetul. I am deeply grateful for the way they honored my uncle's life. I would highly recommend Sims Funeral Home to anyone looking for a team who truly cares and goes above and beyond for the families they serve.”

“I cannot thank Ms. Linda at F.L. Sims Funeral Home enough for her guidance during such a difficult time. Planning my father's funeral felt overwhelming, but Ms. Linda’s incredible attention to detail and 'customer-first' mentality made all the difference. She truly listens and ensures every wish is honored with grace. She took the weight off our shoulders when we needed it most. If you want someone who will treat your family with genuine care and precision, I highly recommend working with her.”
— James Booker
“There are truly no words for how beautifully FL Sims, particularly Ms. Linda Thrasher, treated my family during our time of bereavement. My aunt passed away Monday, May 3rd. I had no idea what to do for services and Ms. Linda walked me through it every step of the way. They make it a point to stay in communication with you and answer all of your questions. If there is any back and forth with life insurance companies and the like, FL Sims walks you through that too! Prices were reasonable and the quality was excellent. My aunt's service was the most well-done graveside service I have ever attended. All the details were tastefully handled, from the order of the pictures that played at the viewing down to the prayer cards with my aunt's obituary. And if you saw my aunt, it looked like she was sleeping. All we had to decide was decide our general idea for the service and FL Sims handled the rest. I cannot thank them enough--I know my aunt is happy.”
