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
“Deacon Johnelle Caver and staff had my mother Pearlie Goss looking like a queen. Great casket style and beautiful. The service was good quality, comforting, helpful and communication was really on point. I was walked through with everything I needed to do even going to to cemetery and what to do. Connected me to a great graphic designer Mr. Harris. I had no idea what to do and grieving over my mother. Good job, well done. Thank you and God Bless you”
