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
“I was very disappointed with the service I received. The director, Howard, was very dishonest. He still owes me $200.00 and avoids my calls and voicemails. Each time I try to go by to get my money, no one is ever there. I will never recommend the New JMW funeral home to anyone.”
— Pat Hill
“I give 5 stars my mom just passed away Saturday and she had a hard death in the hospital with a lot of swelling and Mr. Howard did a good job to make sure she looked as much like herself as possible he is by far the most reasonably priced funeral home in the Birmingham area.”
— lady foxx
“I would not suggest using. I attended a funeral of a loved one this past weekend and not only did they rush the family through the service, which was said to be because of a new law with times to be in the graveyard, the directors were sitting in the lobby talking the entire time we were trying to listen to the pastor.”
— Kimberly Dove
