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.

“Spent more time under the care of the Bushelons and their staff than I'd prefer. Their care, compassion, and professionalism is unmatched. Thank you Kate! You truly made our burdens easier to bare.”
— Kheela Bernard
“There are no words that I can say that would express my gratitude to Bushelon Funeral Home. My family got hit in the gut with three deaths in the matter of 6 months. Kate and her staff was there with us through it all. Kate knew that I was an only child and when my Mother earned her wings she told me that she would be my sibling to help me through the hard process of loosing a parent. Bushelon Funeral home gave my family and I the Red Carpet experience through all three deaths.”
— Wesley Fowler
