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
“Mason's has a new owner. Joseph Swords. Our family has used Mason's for a very long time, and we've always been taken care of. The new owner was already on staff with Masons. Joseph is caring and nurturing and will work hard to serve the grieving family. We recently lost our mother, and Joseph and the staff were incredible. They were always available to assist us from start to finish. We felt valued and supported during our time with them. The procession to the cemetery was carefully planned out with local law enforcement, and it was flawless. If you live in the Summerville area, and are in need of funeral services, call Joseph Swords. You won't regret it.”

“During the process of Misty Thompsons funeral planning my best friend and her family was not given full details of pricing was told they could pay a certain amount and then the day came and they had to change everything because Chris wanted the amount in whole and even the money wasn't in hand he seen it was being processed to a card from the GoFundMe and would be paid in full the day the money deposited to the card. Misty's casket had to be changed the vault had to be removed because of this. DONT SAY SOMEONE CAN PAY HALF THEN SWITCH UP ON THEM THE DAY THEY MAKE THE FINAL ARRANGEMENTS JUST BECAUSE THE FAMILY WAS HAVING A HARD TIME PLANNING HER FUNERAL! THE FAMILY WAS AND STILL IS DEVASTATED!!! Then when the obituary was being talked about they did not want to put family who passed before her on her obituary and would not add her step mother by her father's name! His exacts words was "we are not doing all of that". Fast forward to the day of the funeral Misty's dad and step mom arrived before anyone else I myself was there with them moments after they arrived Misty's dad was not allowed to go in for a few moments alone with his daughter that he would never get one on one time with again. Chris you did this family wrong and I will never recommend Masons to anyone”

The facility and chapels are beautiful, yet comfortable. They really know how to ease the stress you and your family go through during a difficult time.”
