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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“If ever the arrangements and undertaking of a Funeral was done with the kind of love, consideration and care you would expect from a family member who loved you. this one was it. Even though we know that no one is perfect and that nothing occurs without issue, there was nothing in this one that I saw or felt which was not exceptionally done. They say that a master craftsman makes errors but his mastery is evident in the fact that you cannot see them. Mr. Williams is indeed a craftsman at removing the kinds of worries that come from such an event and making our family know that we are his as well. And, for this, we are most appreciative. Thank you. Larry D. Crawford(son of Irene L. Crawford)”
