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.

“Not very pleasent, they make it known they only deal with "their kind". Sad that there's racism even in death. Very disappointed in the services I was provided. It goes beyond being racist, the whole funeral home dirty, unorganized. I was up charged for a crooked casket. Beyond disappointed, glad it's over too bad I can't have a do over. To disrespect a dead persons family to their face while paying THOUSANDS of dollars in a tragic time of a person's life is crazy work. The older woman in the office is beyond rude. You think working there she would have a better perspective, but she's still rude and beyond disrespectful. I hope when it's my time my people choose a different place and If you're thinking about choosing a different funeral home this is your sign to do so. my ma would be disappointed in how they did her.”

The entire Jones Funeral Home Staff are all very caring, compassionate, and very understanding. During the months after my father-in-law's passing our family have received inspirational correspondences from Jones Funeral Home. Our hearts were deeply touched when we received a birthday card in the mail in remberance of my father-in-law's birthday on his actual birthday. This expression of love can only be described in one word.........PRICELESS!!! Jones Funeral Home is absolutely Awesome & Amazing.
