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 brother-in-law passed away on Sunday night, November 16th, 2025. On Monday morning, November 17th, I reached out to five crematoriums to compare costs and services. Tim Cunningham returned my call within thirty minutes, and we scheduled a consultation meeting for that afternoon! Tim is not only an expert in this field but also kind, empathetic, and personable; He never once tried to convince me to select a package that was not financially feasible. His cremation packages are far below any of the others that I had researched. Within an hour, the paperwork was signed, I paid for the services, provided him with the obituary that I had written, and the process was complete. He contacted me the next day to tell me that one of his employees was on his way to Raleigh to pick up my brother-in-law's body. He sent me a copy of the obituary once it had been posted. Without reservations, I would highly recommend Metropolitan Crematorium and Tim Cunningham to anyone in need of these services. Tim, you are a shining light during some very dark and uncertain times. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Deborah Dallas”

“I will begin by saying that God sent us to this place. My father recently passed away but prior to his passing he was on Hospice care. We contacted metropolitan Crematorium in order to make sure we had plans in place for when my father passed. Upon speaking with the organization we spoke with Tim C., who was extremely tender and kind which is what we needed in these hard moments. Every moment of interaction with Mr. Cunningham was assuring and helpful. Mr. Cunningham also assisted with getting additional information about military resources. This organization will have our business in the future. If you are unsure about finding a place that doesn't take advantage of your pain and circumstance I highly recommend Metropolitan Crematorium.”

“I am so pleased that I chose Metropolitan Crematorium. Mr. Timothy Cunningham provided AMAZING service and patience during this difficult time for my family. I was scheduled to meet with other places and knew that I didn't need to go any further after speaking with Mr. Cunningham. He answered all of my questions and explained everything about the process to me. Dealing with the loss of a loved is not easy, it helps when you find a place like Metropolitan Crematorium and its staff, they are rare gems.”
