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 just wanted to say the Rivers SFH&C were so caring, helpful and I could never thank these people for how they handled my father's funeral last year. It is always difficult and overwhelming to handle the death of a loved one and make funeral arrangements, the Rivers funeral home did practically everything down to the last details. I only had to provide information and his suit. On my way to the funeral home I had to turn back and get that suit because I forgot it. I was on overload. They also calmed me down and were so caring and showed great concern for me in my emotional mess. There are not enough thank yous to express my gratitude to them. I would recommend them a million times over!”
