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
“Yesterday, I was looking forward to watching the Home going service of my cousin. Unfortunately the funeral home had the family sit online for 30 minutes to watch nothing! Then they provided a new link, to again watch nothing! An hour of wasted time. I called the funeral home and was told they would call me back, of course they didn’t! A total waste of time! If you want this service for your family, don’t depend on JC Battle and Sons. It’s so hard to get good and quality service these days.”
— Kimberlee Young
“JC Battle and Sons Funeral Home went above and beyond for me after the untimely death of my younger brother. This amazing family-owned funeral home has been around 90 years and currently is guided by third-generation son JC Battle III. JC treats everyone with compassion, dignity and respect; furthermore, his calm demeanor and encouragement continues to help us during this difficult time. I was especially touched to learn of this funeral home's commitment to help Vietnam Veterans and their families and those of our heroes that succumb to the horrors of PTSD and mental illness. This family of morticians is exactly what you need in your corner during a loved one's passing. Highly and without a doubt, recommend!”

“I attended a home going service for my beautiful friend and upon reaching the casket I immediately smelled decomposition, which has never happened at Any funeral I’ve been to. I was blown away at all the stains on her dress and how unprofessional this was. The gentleman that worked there was rude and unfriendly At A Funeral and I would just like to know how you all store the deceased because this is unforgivable. Do not use this place they need to do better Quickly.”
