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
“I know there was a few family members that took pictures. But today we were there for my uncles viewing and cremation. About 2:30-3pm we heard someone say there’s fire. The room started to get smoky and we all went out. We saw all this black smoke coming out of the building thinking the building was on fire. We were about to call 911 when my cousin said that she just called someone in The office and said it was ok that someone was getting cremated . No one informed us that it was going to be smoky or anything of that matter. You can see all this black smoke non stop and they expected us to go back in the room. It was still smoky. Thought that crematoriums should have some kind of smoke regulatory. Definitely they need to look into that. That’s definitely pollution. People should get informed when they do that.”

“I recently attended a service at this crematory to view my loved one and was extremely satisfied with the entire experience. The facility is impeccably clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. The front desk staff were kind, courteous, and helpful throughout. The crematory operators were also wonderful—handling everything with care and sensitivity as we witnessed the cremation. Overall, my experience with The Gardens was exceptional from start to finish. Thank you to the entire team for the compassionate care you provided to my loved one!”
