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
“Ayers handled all aspects of the cremation of our son with sincere compassion. During a traumatic and raw time when it was challenging to feel gratitude for anything, we were grateful our baby’s body and our grief was cared for by Ayers. We also recently had our two beloved dogs cremated through our vet, who used Ayers. Both of our pups’ ashes came back to us in very beautiful, tasteful wooden urns.”
— Angela Stewart
“I lost both my Step-Father and my Mother just two weeks apart. Ayers was incredibly helpful during this heartbreaking time for my family and went above and beyond to help us with their arrangements. We are so grateful for their compassionate customer service.”
— Marie Murray
