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
“Recently lost my brother January 2,2026 while on vacation. In selecting a place to hold his service my family wanted somewhere that matched my brothers class and quality. He was 23 and had possessed such poise and strength that was admirable to our family. I found Brown -Wynne doing a search and had also been referred to this place by a family member. I felt an instant connection. Called and spoke with Maddison. Let me just say Maddison is extremely incredible at what she does !! She is prompt and personable and didn’t make us feel negatively. During my mother and I meeting with her she walked us through everything with a central calm and peace that made this transition a lot easier. I also want to thank the entire staff for their warmth and comfort. My family genuinely appreciates Brown-Wynne.”

“We didn’t hold my father’s service in North Carolina, but Mark Blake (manager and funeral director) at Brown-Wynne on St. Mary’s Street went above and beyond to help me navigate the process of moving my father out of state. I was completely unfamiliar with the steps involved in transporting a loved one from death to burial, and Mark guided me every step of the way. He was available by phone, text, and email, always patient and clear, and gave me the best advice and support I’ve received from anyone in a long time. This was an incredibly difficult moment for my family, and Mark made it so much easier to handle. I will always be grateful to him for that. I cannot recommend Brown-Wynne Funeral Home enough.”

“We conducted my mother's last rites at the Brown-Wynn funeral home in Raleigh. It was a Hindu ceremony, a cremation. The Funeral home staff were extremely professional,organized, and unexpectedly well educated with our needs and practices. It was definitely one less thing to worry about. Our director for the event was Ms.Maddison Lowery who made all our events work like we desired. Thanks Madison and your staff for your efficiency support and kindness during the event.”
