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
“Albert and Mather-Hodge are wonderful people. I never realized how much people like Albert care until you are in a position of losing a loved one. We lost my brother Tommy Williams this past week. Albert and his family treated his wife Wendy so kind during our bereavement. We will always be thankful for their kindness.”
— Mike Williams
“We are so thankful to Mather Hodge Funeral Home. Albert went over and beyond to make sure that everything was taken care of for our Mother. We truly appreciate everything he did for us.”
— Tina Riga
“Last November I went into the funeral home to plan for my mom, which was given six months to live. I saw a young kid in my eyes and said to myself he better be good. I like many, made an assumption that I should not have made. Two weeks ago my mom passed, they came into my home to get my mom and they went above and beyond. Albert was accommodating and respectful, during such a difficult time for me. During the entire process, the entire staff was respectful with our family during our difficult time. All of our needs were met beyond the expectations we had, which meant so much to us. I am truly grateful for the entire Mather-Hodge team. I wish there was a better way to say Thank you, we appreciated everything you did for us.”
— Pamela Rubbo
