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
“Faithful Friends Pet Crematory by R. Cunningham Funeral Home Our sweet, sassy, and beautiful Madigan left us on December 1, 2023. We wanted to keep her close with us and had no hesitation on using Faithful Friends Pet Crematory. From our first conversation with Jessica Cochran, we knew we picked the right place.

Jessica put us all at ease and still comforted us during our grief. We will never go to another place for future pets. The Sager family.”

They were very patient in my grieving process and you could tell it was authentic. They treated me the way I needed and made that day a little Less hard. Thanks Jessica for taking care of Landsy and I! We are forever grateful. They even showed her off afterwards the way she deserved to be!”
