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
“My husband passed recently. We had prepaid for his funeral. Crawford -Bower took excellent care of his services. They were so kind to the family & even stayed late to allow for a late family member to attend the viewing. They were there in the background to make sure the services went as planned. I'm sure glad my services are already paid for there & these folks will be taking care of me & my family when my time comes.”
— Cathy Fisher
“All involved were very respectful and caring. Every detail from the first meeting through the burial was handled professionally. Amber Ellis was our contact person and was a blessing to our family.”
— charles hagood
“My father passed away suddenly on January 7. The entire staff was very compassionate, caring, and supportive. They were there for every little detail and coordinated a beautiful service for my father at a distant location. They took care of getting the Navy Honor Guard and providing the full military honors service and made sure everything went off smoothly for my father's service and our family's final goodbye. No detail was too trivial and the staff was always willing to abide by any request we made. I definitely recommend this funeral home to take the most compassionate care of your loved one and family.”
