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
“A most wonderful and gracious director, Eric Manuel, and staff facilitate this Eastern Gate funeral home in Pensacola, FL. We brought my mother from Memphis to bury her with her husband, daughter and mother. We had my mother’s celebration of life and memorial on November 1 at this Dignity Funeral Home and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to have her service. Eric accommodated us in every way with kindness and grace. I recommend this funeral home if you want your loved one to be cared for with dignity and love.”

“The care that was put into my sister’s celebration of life was outstanding. Marcy put together her life story and it was truly amazing to see. My sister opted for food and refreshments following her service and that was a good idea, many of the guests really liked it. The food was displayed beautifully and everything was clean and lovely.”
— Lisa Turner
“My dad died on July 13, 2025 and was placed in the care of Eastern Gate. The funeral was preplanned by my mom and dad, and I was beyond impressed with the compassion, professionalism, and dignity in which they handled my family, especially my dad. Of all the funerals I've been to, I have to say that my dad looked so incredibly peaceful and present, after having been sick for so long. It was truly amazing how they captured my DAD, and I will forever be greatful. It gave my family a lot of peace. Eastern Gate will treat your family like their own. I can't give nought praises. Thank you Eastern Gate.”
