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.

“Townes did a wonderful job carefully handling the cremation of my sweet Millie. It was incredibly tough day for me but they were so caring and comforting, I left knowing my girl would be well taken care of. Highly recommend their pet cremation services!”

“I am incredibly grateful to Townes Funeral Home for their kindness and compassion during the cremation of my beloved pet, Gunner. Losing a pet is never easy, but the staff made the process as smooth and comforting as possible. They were understanding, patient, and treated the situation with the utmost care and respect. The pricing was fair, and the entire process was handled quickly and efficiently. I truly appreciate their support during such a difficult time and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services.”

“This is not something that I was expecting to write a review on, but here we are. I was told Townes did a wonderful job with pet cremations but I was hoping not to need their services for quite a while still. Then, I unexpectedly lost my baby bird (29 year old) Kiwi. He was a quaker parrot and I was distraught. Laten, Steve, and anyone I spoke with or met at Townes was very sympathetic. They made a hard time, a bit easier. They listened to me blubber over the phone, were patient while I shared my memories, and took very good care of my Kiwi. The sweet little box for his ashes and certificate were a wonderful memorial. I was even able to share Kiwi's obituary link with friends and family. I would highly recommend Townes Family Pet Cremations to anyone who needs such services. They will definitely be there for you in your time of sorrow.”
