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
“Called multiple times trying to get information and help with a burial. I could never get anyone. Some gentleman kept answering and saying the "director " would call me back. I would think dealing with someones death and the amount of money it cost to bury someone they would at least take it serious enough to return a call.”
— Just mail
“We recently used only because our mother thought we could save a dollar on her burial. I'm sure it didn't save anything with the drive we all had to make from Fayetteville and Lewisburg.. Very disappointed that we were told all of the food friends had delivered had to taken out the day they were delivered. There was so much food that was wasted and trashed due to this. We could have had this the day of the funeral. Then we was told all of the flowers that wasn't in containers that would go to the cemetery needed to be taken out before the service. Really 😳 But probably the saddest part was on the way to the cemetery where they must have not known where they were going and the hurst and another funeral van drove up in the wrong area.”
