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
“Merit Memorial made an incredibly hard time so much easier for our family. From the very first call, Celia and Shilo were kind, patient, and truly went above and beyond for us. They made the entire process simple and stress-free, guiding us through every step with compassion and understanding. They were already on their way to help us before we even finished explaining what we needed. That level of responsiveness and genuine care meant everything during such a difficult moment. I’m truly grateful for Celia, Shilo, and the entire Merit Memorial team—for their professionalism, empathy, and the support they showed our family. If you’re looking for people who will treat your loved one with dignity and make the process as easy as possible, Merit Memorial is absolutely the place to go.”
— Devin Sattler
“From start to finish, Merit Memorial has been absolutely incredible. Extra special thank you to Bebe and the wonderful ladies were so helpful in explaining next steps and arranging the paperwork for us. Their willingness to go above and beyond was truly a huge relief during such a stressful time. I can’t recommend the team highly enough!”
— Angela So
“Shiloh & Bebe were outstanding to work with from start to finish. It’s such a hard time when you lose someone & especially when you have to call in the middle of the night to find someone you can entrust your loved one with. Throughout the process they stayed in contact with me & worked diligently trying to get my father’s physician to sign the death certificate. I wish more businesses gave the type of old-fashioned hospitality and professionalism that Merit did during one of my darkest hours. I am thankful for their help and support & highly recommend them.”
— Linda Horton
