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
“Fouché provided excellent service for my family during two of the most difficult times in our lives — the loss of my brother and my stepfather. Tammy Hardy was our counselor, and she offered truly exceptional care throughout the entire process. Her professionalism, compassion, and genuine empathy made a challenging experience much easier to navigate. I deeply appreciate the thoughtful support and quality service we received from Tammy and the entire Fouché team.”
— Key Richardson
“A very professional, compassionate, and empathetic establishment. Tammy was very kind to my sister and I at our appointment. Although I was on speaker phone since I was out of state I felt very much a part of the meeting. My sister and I felt Fouche’s is more than a business, but a place that truly understood what those who are grieving are going through.”
— Mary Braswell
“My family has appreciated Fouches for many years. Tammy Hardy is one of the most well respected counselors at this establishment. If ever your family is in need of good funeral service, give fouches a call. They can help.”
— Elisa Presley
