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
“Mr. Manning was so compassionate, caring, and kind during the most difficult moment of my life. He was so patient and understanding and created a slide show and programs that honored the memory of my precious son. He helped to make such a painful moment/ experience have beauty, giving my son dignity, respect, and love. I highly recommend Labby to anyone who has lost a loved one and wants to find a place/people that will love and honor you & them.”

“Labby Funeral Home was absolutely wonderful in handling everything for our father’s funeral. Vernie went over and beyond to please us and did it with a happy heart. He made sure our father, a 99 year old WWII veteran, was buried with all honors. It was just incredible. Casey and Vernie both worked hard to get everything just right for the obituary, program, and slide show. We highly recommend using Labby Memorial Funeral Homes for the best care of your loved one. The Family of William (Billy) Edward Kilman, Jr.”
