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
“Personal informative totally explained all products and extremely understanding of our needs and requests. Treated like family not just a business relationship. Amber assisted us professionally and with special regards with the passing of my wife. Thank You Brown And Sons Norman Philbrick”
— Norman Philbrick
“Very caring and thoughtful. Unfortunately we all need at some point in our lives. Brown & Sons makes a difficult time much easier. They handle so much. Sent my father in law back home to NC. Mark made everything go seem less and Sharon was great to work with on obituaries and getting death certificates. I highly recommend. If needed.”
— David Brown
“Brown and Sons were sweet, compassionate, empathetic and incredibly helpful especially for someone who didn’t know what she was doing. I would highly recommend to anyone in the area. Just amazing people - every single person I talked to from the office person to the funeral directors. I primarily dealt with Bud who was wonderful but interacted with several others who were also kind and caring.”
