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
“They have been absolutely wonderful with the service and care of my brother. They went above and beyond what was required and the care they provided for my entire family was wonderful. They really understood how to care for the grieving family as well as the loved one that was lost. I cannot say enough great things about them!”
— Kimberly Looney
“They're communication skills are not good at all. I've been waiting on a tracking number for my brother's remains and I have yet to receive one. Tried calling the speak with someone and couldn't get any answers.. don't know when they were put in the mail, couldn't get me someone that could send me an email with a tracking number either, couldn't tell me how long it would be before someone could send me this information. Kept talking over me on the phone excused me of talking over him and hung up on me. Where are my brothers remains??? I've been waiting for 2 months.. I definitely don't and not will I ever recommend this place for anybody's loved one. Please think about your loved ones before choosing this mortuary. Not very professional at all.”
— Johnny cat303 Taylor
