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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“Mr. Albert from Strawther and White Funeral Home is the best at what he does. He was patient and understanding with us during a very difficult time. He showed us several options, and the pricing was better than the other local funeral home.”
— Tim tunstill
“I had a relative's funeral here. I live out of town, and would not be able to attend. I sent something for the relative's funeral, and asked to be called when it arrived. I waited. Heard nothing. I ended up calling and answering service picked up the call. Someone did call back, I gave this person the information I was given. They said they would "check". They did NOT let me know one way or another. In my opinion it is a very callous thing during the time of loss. I would think all family members REGARDLESS who they are would be treated with compassion, and consideration. Just a opinion.”

“Amazing people! I am a florist and we enjoy delivering flowers to this funeral home. Thank you for your kindness!”
— Cassie Groves
