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
“The Mealey Family has proven themselves to be true professionals. Chick handled previous experiences we had with compassion and kindness and Rachel did an incredible job after the recent passing of my sister. Every detail was handled with true compassion and nothing was too much to ask. Rachel is a genuine professional, focused on the needs and requests of our family. She followed through every detail with sensitivity, understanding, empathy, concern and a mastery of her profession. I highly recommend Mealey when the time comes for you to require their services. I am deeply grateful!”
