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
“Review update : im glad Mr close actually called me to apologize on behalf of a verbal discussion, ima creature of habit when something upsets me and I seriously have bad inflammatory problems so being angry and upset is not what I want I notice my physical reactions I dont like sitting on my feelings unadressed so I will approach the person directly. Since Mr close has apologized i will accept it and move on they do and I appreciate their vintage like atmosphere when I visited the building I did appreciate the handling and caring of my mom of course most definitely so i do recommend them aside from other funeral homes I checked out....I do want to thank them at least on that but on that note apology accepted.”
