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
“Unfortunately I lost my Dad August 2025 and decided to use Jackson Funeral Home. I was met with a cold and dismissive attitude from a worker by the name Leslie who answers the phone. She was very unprofessional and she added unnecessary stress that I had during an already difficult time. Her actions tainted the memory of my Dads final arrangements. She demonstrated a complete lack of empathy. Due to this any future plans I will no longer use this Funeral home. And I have spread my experience to Family & Friends.”
— Mrs.Y R.

— KRISTAL COTTO
“Our gratitude to Jackson Funeral Residence and Staff is beyond words. My dad’s passing was one of the most difficult time that I and my family had to face. Beginning from my first call to Jackson Funeral and speaking with Ms. Leslie, her professionalism & compassionate gave us the strength to provide our father with a well deserved funeral service. The transition from the moment that the two gentlemen picked up my dad from our home, to Ms. Leslie guiding us through the funeral process, Mr. Sidney preparing my dad, which he did an amazing job. When I saw my dad it brought tears to my eyes. During the funeral service Ms. Leslie was attentive all throughout. We will be forever grateful for your Excellent Service and Support❤️”
