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
“My uncle chose Whitley's more than a decade ago to handle his passing. He chose well. When he passed away in February 2026, Whitley's were professional, lovely, down-to-earth as we worked through the arrangements. Jennifer was our lead contact. She was fantastic. A very good listener, Jennifer responded to our needs to make saying good-bye to my uncle a wonderful and poignant occasion. I felt like we gave him a farewell he'd be pleased with. Thank you, Jennifer, we couldn't have done it without you. And thank you, Whitley's!”

“My Mother passed March 30. We used Whitley’s due to great service when dad passed. Again they were supremely compassionate and helpful. Since then, I’ve worked with DALE McCOLLUM on prearranging and payment for all my final expenses. Dale was very helpful, compassionate and Professional in every way. He made a really emotionally difficult situation as easy to do as could be expected. Thank You Dale and all Whitley’s staff. You are a credit to your profession.”
— Gary Rowell
“Dale McCollum at Whitley's helped my husband and I set up our advance funeral plans. He was courteous, professional, informative, personable and on time for our appointment. There was no pressure and he was very helpful respecting our decisions. Since we travel A LOT he suggested their travel insurance and we bought that as well. Made perfect sense to us to spend the extra money on that. NO matter where we are and if something happens to one or both of us the cost will be covered getting our remains back home. Such a comfort knowing that is in place as well. Recommend him highly. On a scale of 1 to 5, we give him a 6!!!”
