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.

We could not have asked for more, they were polite, caring and respectful of our time that we needed to be with our Mother. My mother was looking beautiful as usual.

“My mom Mary Sistrunk passed away in January 2023 and I yet can't come to terms with the fact that her Pre-paid funeral package Was Not honored , being told by a disrespectful clerk name Dee that prices have gone up. I was also told by Alon that the bloating of my mom's remains came from toxins was not true. Not storing her remains at the proper temperature caused it. I couldn't put mom to rest on the day of her service because Carmichael clerk didn't clear things with Covington Cemetery ,I had to return back to Fort Wayne 3 days later, get help from church members to do this. I pray no one else has to go through this. My Mother deserved much better dignity than was given. God sees everything!!! REST MOMA. You Served Your Spiritual Calling Well. "WELL DONE" !!!”
