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 want to extend my deepest gratitude to Gilmore Memorial Funeral Service for providing such a thoughtful and dignified service in honor of Mr. Henderson. Your compassion and attention to detail have meant so much to the family during this very difficult time. Mr. Henderson was not only a cherished individual but also a tremendous asset to Bill Black Chevrolet Cadillac. His legacy of hard work, dedication, and kindness continues to inspire all of us. We also recognize and appreciate his son, Chatos, who carries forward his father's values and remains a great asset to Bill Black Professional Auto. Lastly, heartfelt thanks to Jerry Gilmore and Monica Gilmore Lassiter & staff for creating such a memorable home-going celebration. Your efforts have provided the family with comfort and a beautiful tribute to a remarkable life. Thank you all for your support, love, and the enduring memories.”

“We entrusted Gilmore to take care of my nephews home going service. Ms. Donna went above and beyond to help my family in our time of bereavement. Ms. Donna was loving, caring and beyond amazing. Not only did she assist us with his service arrangmenents she also assisted us with locating a beautiful place for us to lay him to rest. Every request we made was honored with grace. We thank Gilmore Funeral Home especially Ms. Donna for her support, her kind words and having a loving heart!”
— Mrs. Moore
“I will say that fortunately I have never had the need for their services and after today I never would… I was at Mangum’s car wash waiting for my car to be finished being detailed when Gilmore came in with 3 vehicles in succession in need of a car wash . Not a problem… But what I found most shocking was that there was a casket in the back of one of the vehicles!!! Imagine being the poor soul who had to clean the inside of that vehicle! Also, when you entrust a funeral home to care for your loved one’s body, I’m sure it wouldn’t include a joy ride for a car wash prior to a funeral!! Shame on you!”
