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
“I don’t even have the words to fully express what Luke did for my family during my dad’s passing. In a time when our hearts were broken and everything felt overwhelming, Luke stepped in with so much compassion, patience, and genuine care. He didn’t just do his job — he guided us, comforted us, and made sure every detail was handled with love and respect. Luke went above and beyond in every possible way, and I will never forget the kindness he showed us. He made one of the hardest moments of our lives a little easier to bear. I am forever grateful for him, and my family will always remember how he helped us through such a painful time. Thank you❤️”

“My experience with Thomas Poteet was excellent. Funeral Directors, Kurt and Luke, and staff member, Amy, were extremely kind, respectful, attentive, and helpful in planning and executing a gravesite burial service for my mother. All planning had to be via phone calls, but they made it extremely easy and less stressful for me. I also appreciated their being able to quickly obtain the death certificates for me.”
— Linda Bryans

Y’all went above and beyond! Thank you for everything! Like my dad would have said,” Hey man I was glad I could do it!” Y’all would have made him proud! I can’t recommend this funeral home enough!”
