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
“Our family has been attending services at Anderson Funeral Service for as long as we can remember, so choosing them to handle my father’s funeral was an easy decision after our initial consultation. Joy, Doris, and the entire team treated my mother and me with exceptional patience, warmth, understanding, flexibility, and professionalism. Supporting families during their most difficult and vulnerable moments cannot be easy, yet they made an incredibly hard time feel more manageable and comforting. My father looked like himself which was very important to us, the facility easily accommodated a large crowd and online streaming. The obituaries and prayer cards were beautifully done, and every detail was handled with care. We were truly pleased with all of the services provided and are grateful for the compassion and respect shown to our family.”

“My family and I received exceptional service from Anderson Funeral Home. I didn't know what to expect when we first started the arrangement process but they guided us and provided useful education at the same time. They were extremely caring, patient and understanding of our needs. I'm very grateful for the service they provided in our sensitive time of need!”
— Nurses Here For You
“A relative was cremated with Anderson recently and everything was fine but the makeup was bad, he didn't look like himself. His skin color was way off. I would recommend Anderson hire someone who knows how to do makeup. But the staff have been really kind and helpful, and they've been helpful to our family for many years so I still recommend Anderson to anyone who seeks a Black Owned funeral home.”
