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
“Let me start off by saying Thank you Tyra Watson and Southwest Memorial Funeral Home. This Funeral Home has been serving my family for three generations now. I recently buried my mom this year January the 5th. By this being my first time ever having to handle funeral arrangements Miss Tyra was a blessing she made this process painless and easy. She was with me every step of the way. The staff in team also was very attentive to my needs. Let me also State they did this doing the holiday week. They went above and beyond to make sure my mom had a beautiful home going. I cannot thank them enough. I would recommend their services to anyone that is looking for a funeral home that would treat you like family while being professional. Again I never thought I would be burying my mom this soon but I'm glad I had Southwest Memorial to help me put her to rest.”

“Thank you Tyra Watson and Southwest Memorial Funeral Home for the exceptional care and compassion they showed during a very difficult time for our family. From the moment we walked through their doors, their team was attentive, understanding, and highly professional. They took care of every detail with such respect, ensuring my grandfather’s service was beautiful and dignified, just as he deserved. Their facility was warm and inviting, and they went above and beyond to make sure we felt supported throughout the entire process. It’s never easy to say goodbye to a loved one, but knowing they were in such capable and caring hands made all the difference. Thank you for helping us honor my grandfather’s memory and military service so perfectly!”
