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
“Unprofessional. Lied to customers about ashes coming in a "Sherwood Indian" Rosewood urn. They actually came in a tin box that looks like you can get from temu. The lady’s response when I called asking why the sheet they provided that she said “it was discontinued”, when i said “You should probably be transparent with your customers about this then and update your sheets you are showing customers, her response was “Ok” , in an extremely condescending tone.”

“Lyerly Pet Cremation thank you so much for the amazing kindness, care, warmth, and empathy you showed me through this extremely heartbreaking time in dealing with saying goodbye to the best pup ever. She was very much part of our family and the respect y'all showed in regard to that was outstanding. I can't begin to describe to you how much it helped me trust you with Maggie. So many blessings your way and I look forward to seeing you all again when I pick her up. 🙏🏼”
— Beau King
“Highly recommend Lyerly's for your pet's cremation. Deena (I hope I'm spelling her name right) was so kind and sympathetic to us throughout the drop-off process and really gave us the feeling that they will take great care of our girl and treat her with respect and compassion until we get her back. Their pricing is also incredibly reasonable, and I am very grateful that we will get our pet's ashes back in a wooden box instead of one of the plastic urns, which are standard for most pet creation places.”
