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 can not say enough about the excellent service Virginia Cremation provided for our family. The staff of Virginia Cremation was a blessing sent to us at the worst time in our life. Dealing with the loss of a mother is never easy, but it was comforting to have Virginia Cremation and staff on our side to guide us through this difficult process. They treated my mom with the utmost respect, from the time they came to our house to the time her ashes were ready. Special thanks go out to Anthony. He was respectful, compassionate, and responsive to all our needs. Always know, that your compassionate, caring and patient approach will always be remembered. We are forever grateful to the whole staff of Virginia Cremation. I would highly recommend them to anyone.”

“Virginia Cremation Service handled the cremation for my husband who passed away in February 2017. I cannot say enough about how professional and thoughtful they were throughout the entire process. They honored him and our family throughout, the dignity in which they removed his body from our home, to posting his obituary online and keeping us fully informed throughout the process, including our later meeting at the crematory, with a time for prayer and viewing (My husband had wanted a witness cremation and that was well handled.), and afterward in timely providing his flag, and also his cremated remains to our family to be later interred at Quantico National Cemetery, where his remains were finally laid to rest. Our family has already shared our positive experience with others, and can recommend VCS with full confidence to anyone seeking a reliable cremation service.”

“I was recommended to VCS by Found & Sons, as a funeral was going to be delayed for some time post-death, and I only needed a simple cremation. I have to say, they made a difficult process seamless, and were very caring and understanding throughout. I unfortunately had to retain their services twice in only six weeks, but after how smoothly it went the first time, there was no question about using them again. They were even able to ship me the second deceased's remains, as I live in a different state. I can't say enough good things about VCS - compassionate, caring, and affordable.”
