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.

“This was not my first experience with J. Collins Funeral Home, but it was the closest and most personal—and I can say without hesitation that their service far exceeds any other provider I’ve worked with. From the moment my mother passed, they handled everything with such grace and dignity. Mr. J. Collins himself came to my mom’s humble home to attend to her personally. That meant so much. He shared with me that he had lost his own mother to lung cancer at a young age, and in that moment, I knew he truly understood. His presence wasn’t just professional—it was personal. As someone who’s worked with grieving families in law enforcement and cemetery management, I’ve seen how emotional decisions can lead to families being taken advantage of. But that was never the case here. One of the greatest gifts my mom left me was that she had preplanned her services with J. Collins. That saved our family over $2,000 even after inflation, and not once did anyone at the funeral home try to upsell or steer me toward anything other than what my mom had chosen. Their communication was impeccable—I never had to call to ask about the cremation status, death certificate, or next steps. They were always one step ahead, guiding me through the process with clarity and care. I’m forever grateful for the way they honored my mother and supported me as her daughter through the hardest goodbye I’ve ever had to say.”

“When my Daddy passed away they took care of everything. They were caring and really went the extra mile. We were in great hands and you need that when you lose someone you love. Thank you for helping us honor my Dad in the best way!”
