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
“Absolutely unprofessional and unprepared! Adding on extra stress to my family in a time of grief and not giving a single ounce of remorse whatsoever!!! They treated us as if we were planning just any regular event instead of a funeral I am absolutely disgusted and hurt at how our family was treated”
— Morgan Elrod
“Anybody else have them bring out a complete stranger’s obituary during your loved one’s funeral?”
— Victoria Smith
“Mr Milton was my life saver during this terrible time in my life when my daddy passed a few days ago. He made us feel comfortable instead of crying and stressed.
