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
“My father-in-law passed away unexpectedly before Thanksgiving. We came in from out of state to handle his affairs. This is the first time I have ever had to plan a service for a loved one and Shelton-Hunt made the process seamless and easy. My father-in-law looked like he was peacefully sleeping and at rest. They really did him justice. The service from beginning to end was beautiful, and they surprised us with a physical copy of the video tribute and some other pieces of mementos we were not expecting to receive. They were beyond sympathetic, attentive and courteous to all members of the family and friends. Thank you for taking such good care of our loved one during our time of mourning, we will forever be appreciative.”
