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
“Allan and his father made sure that I saw my mother the way I requested. Even though they informed me of her decomposition rate. She was pretty far gone but I don't regret my decision and I'm grateful they allowed me a healing process. You can fully trust these people with your deceased loved ones.”
— Sophia_Aline Rodriguez
“My mother passed away unexpectedly recently. As you can imagine, it was heartbreaking and also a very confusing time. Not knowing what to do, the gentlemen at this funeral home helped tremendously. Not having all of the money upfront for the services they provided, these gentlemen have been working with me making everything less stressful. They all have been kind, caring and compassionate. Alan even helped find my mother a more beautiful casket than the one we could originally afford at the same price. That alone speaks volumes. Thank you so much to all of you at Columbia funeral services. You did a wonderful job making my mother look the way I remember her. I'll always appreciate you all!”
— Krystal Powell
“They did a amazing job and helped our family, when we were in need. We were able to pay half of the cost and they were willing to let us make the rest in payments. They also charged us less for my mothers coffin. They let me take my time too say goodbye after her service and viewing was over. My mom looked wonderful for her viewing. Her passing has been very hard the past couple weeks. But knowing she was handled with the most respectful hands, was a blessing. I do recommend this place, when anyones has to go through the loss of your loved ones. Thank you 🙏”
