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.

— Mary Knight
“We recently worked with Dunbar Funeral Home for my father’s funeral, and I can’t express enough how grateful we are for their support during such a difficult time. My father needed to be transported to Philadelphia for his funeral, and what I thought would be a complicated process was made incredibly smooth and stress-free thanks to their team. They maintained constant communication, making sure we were informed every step of the way, while also giving us the space we needed to grieve and focus on family. Pate was especially amazing—he went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled with care and respect. Being in South Carolina, they don’t often handle Catholic funerals, but you would have never known it. They approached every detail with thoughtfulness, professionalism, and genuine compassion. Dunbar took care of all the heavy lifting, allowing us to spend our time where it mattered most—with loved ones. A heartfelt thank you to Pate, Rachel, and the entire Dunbar team. Their dedication, kindness, and excellence truly made a difference for our family. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

Their compassion and guidance during this difficult time took a lot of pressure off of me. They made sure everything was taken care of and handled with great care, grace and respect. I can’t thank them enough for all they did, and I highly recommended them to other families. Selecting this funeral home to help you in your greatest time of need will be a decision you will glad you made.”
