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
“We lost my Mother in Law one week ago and I knew I wanted her to come to Scott Funeral Home. I previously met Miss Coretta when she was servicing another funeral for a church member and I really liked her personality and demeanor. When the time came for us to now have to utilize their services, she did not disappoint. This process was very hard and frustrating overall but not on the part of the funeral home. Miss Coretta and her Staff made us feel so comfortable and went above and beyond to help us get things settled. I appreciate them and am so happy what I felt when I met them a few years ago, was right on point. I will tell everyone about them. Thank you for everything.”

“I want to thank Coretta and Marcus for helping us get through this difficult time in our lives. They made the process of saying goodbye to my son a bit easier knowing he was in good hands. I live in Medford, Oregon and they understand that traveling back and forth can get expensive and offered to ship his ashes to me, which just touched my heart. I highly recommend Scott Funeral Home for the care they give to the families and their loved ones. Thank you for having the passion for this career and supporting those who've lost a part of their lives; we won't forget your kindness, Kelley Bryan”
