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.

“Heartfelt Thanks to Grissom's Chapel and Burial Center I want to express my deepest gratitude to Grissom's Chapel and Burial Center for the incredible care and compassion they showed my family. They handled the arrangements for my mother, father, dad, and brother with so much professionalism and kindness that it truly eased some of the weight during such a difficult time. Lisa, the owner, truly rocks! She’s a woman about business, and it shows in every detail of how Grissom's is run. Her leadership and dedication to providing thoughtful, personalized service shine through her entire team. From the first conversation to the final goodbyes, the experience was seamless and heartfelt. They treated us like family, making sure every decision reflected our loved ones’ wishes and personalities. Their compassion and attention to detail set them apart, and I can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for a caring and professional team during a time of loss. Grissom's doesn’t just provide a service—they walk with you through one of life’s hardest moments, and they do it with grace and empathy. Thank you for everything, Lisa, Lovetta, and team.”

“I had never had to do this before. Lisa was a great help and comfort. The minute I called and told her me mom had passed away she found out where she was and sent her personnel to get her. Had a meeting that afternoon with her. We went over the details and asked if I had a Pastor in mind. We aren't very religious so we didn't. She recommend one and couldn't have asked for someone better (Pastor Steve). It was nice to know whatever questions I had she was available to answer at anytime. Very Professional at all times. Went to drop off moms cloths and asked her if she wanted coffee. She declined and told me "It my time to take care of you". They did a great job with mom. Service was very beautiful. Thanks for all you did for us. Scott Luba”
