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
“Let me just rant for a minute, please for the love of all things holy DO NOT bury your loved one at Evergreen Memorial Park on Atlanta Hwy. Papa died in May, his ashes were buried in July when everyone was together, I ordered his gravemarker the week after, I even double checked that it would be in and on his grave by November 5th, his birthday, I was told it would be. Well November 4th I go by and it’s not there, so I call and I’m told that they were waiting for the vase to come in, okay, cool that’s disappointing but what can I do. Fast forward to today, I get a call from the office manager telling me they forgot to order it due to a change in the system and it’s JUST NOW being ordered. I’m so frustrated at the entire process here because they had no problem taking our almost $4000 just to order it and now I have no idea when he will have a gravemarker. So please, learn from my mistake and do not use the people.”

“We have had trouble since my mother was buried there in 2001 my Brother and sister have all contacted the office and we can never get anybody to call us back. Also I didn’t put my mother there for a night of the dead spirits and my mother and father’s place of rest should not be movie night celebrating this”
— Shonda Howell
“I would like to express my appreciation to Mr. Phil Wages for all of his guidance with the burial arrangements for my Mother. He made an otherwise difficult process less intimidating and easier to navigate with his professionalism and understanding. With his assistance, I was able to select a grave site in one of their Spruce Lawn Gardens which are beautiful, serene and allow easy access for visitations … I am certain my Mom would be pleased. Thanks again Mr. Wages!”
