Heard Family Funeral Home

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
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They were a Beautiful Light During Our Darkest Hour I want to express my deepest gratitude to this funeral home and especially to Ms Sierra Heard for the extraordinary care they provided for my son, Darnell. From the moment his body arrived at the airport, they handled every step with compassion and dignity — the transport, the embalming, the viewing, the funeral service, and finally the cremation. They guided us through every part of this heartbreaking process with so much patience, warmth, and grace. In a time when we were grieving and overwhelmed, they were a steady, gentle light for me and my family. Their spirits, professionalism, and genuine love for their community were felt in everything they did. Losing a child is unimaginable, but having someone walk alongside us with such tenderness made all the difference. I am forever grateful for the respect they gave my son and the support they gave us. This funeral home truly serves with heart, and I will always remember their kindness. Love always with much respect, Ms. Pennington”

“Heard you guys done a phenomenal job with my sister service! The funeral director went above and beyond to make sure my family and I completed all of my sister wishes. We appreciate the Heard family for everything you done for our family. I’ll choose you guys a million times again.”
— Tay Brown
“Do not take your family to Heard Family Funeral Home. The level of disrespect and total disregard I have gotten from this funeral home regarding my mother’s service is unbelievable. I have been trying to bury her for the last 6 weeks and still have been dealing with disrespectful, unacceptable, unprofessional treatment from the owner Siear Heard. She has been so dismissive and lied time after time after time until I came with all the facts. I’m so hurt and angry this has been going on for so long. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR FAMILY TO THIS FUNERAL.”
