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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 used this funeral home when my husband passed away in 2000. I could not have asked for more considerate, dignified care and concern than what the staff of Lester Gee provided for me and my family in carrying out their services for me and my family. And they did so at lower cost than other providers in this area as well. I hope to have them assist my daughters with my internment when I die.”
— Elaine Backus
“While something none of us wants to discuss it, if we are in a position to do so, it is wise to pre-plan funeral arrangements to make it easier on our families. I so appreciated the knowledge and time and provided to me when I inquired about arrangement options with Ms. Lauren Gee.”
— Rettewill
“Mr. GEE and family provided caring and professional services, going that extra mile for my family at the lost of our mother. I'm making sure they take care of me, when the time comes.”
— William Reginald Knox (Reggie)
