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
“From the moment we walked into the funeral home after my wife's passing we knew we were in the right place. The funeral director Terry, working in conjunction with Megan were both FANTASTIC! The grace, compassion understanding and love that were given to, and shared with us were heaven sent. Losing my wife of 43 years.. most definitely was the worst day of my life, the staff at Frederick Dean helped us to find light in the darkness, and refuge in the storm. Thank you 🙏 Father.”
— Christopher Scott
“Joseph, the owner, and Meagan, who handled the arrangements of my husband's services, went above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible. They were both so compassionate, kind and patient with me as I dealt with the sudden passing of my loved one. They truly care about what you are experiencing and help in any way possible to make sure they handle every detail. They were available everytime I called and always treated me with upmost respect. I highly recommend their services to anyone in AL! Thank you Joseph and Meagan for all you've done for our family!!”
