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.

What Families Say
“From the moment we walked in, Charles and his team ensured my family was treated with dignity and compassion. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was handled beautifully and respectfully and were able to accommodate the service to include our out of town family and friends. They guided our family through each step with patience and understanding, which meant so much during such an emotional time. We will always be thankful for their care and professionalism.”

“My sweet dog passed away last night 10/9/25 after 14+ years of companionship and love. It was totally unexpected and my husband was in the hospital and I was alone. I wasn't sure what to do so I Googled "pet cremation near me." Mayer-Ethridge came up first and I noticed it said open 24 hours. I called the number and was contacted by the owner's wife, and her husband, Patrick, came out to my home at 8:00pm to pick up my dog. He was so kind and genuine to me, and that meant everything. He brought her ashes back to my home this afternoon. I have been here 7 years and I'm not familiar with every business, but I can give this one 5 stars with no hesitation. The kindness I experienced last night can't be described, and I will never forget it. I would not hesitate to recommend this business.”
