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
“Went above and beyond for my father’s funeral service. During one of the worst times for my mother she was shown compassion and respect the whole time. They did everything to make sure we sent off her husband the right way. There were several situations that arose where the staff jumped into action and made it happen. Thank you again”
— Shak Jones
“My family really appreciates the kindness and care we received while working with Akridge Family Funeral Care. The utmost dignity, respect and compassion was given to our loved one. From the very bottom of my heart, thank you and you are very much appreciated. I highly recommend their services.”
— Sylina Quarles-Tyler
“I would not suggest using this funeral home. My father passed away in July of last year. I live out of state and knew nothing of the funeral homes in the area. At first they seemed so nice but as soon as I left things changed. We received my father's ashes but never received any of the death certificates that we paid for. We called many many times and were told we will call you back with no returned call or that they would look into it and nothing again. This funeral home is extremely unprofessional and does not seem to care about anything after they get paid. They never even posted my father's obituary like they said they would.”
— Tania Ralston
