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
“What a wonderful experience, Robert Howie was a blessing. My mother and I met with him to go over final planning of her life. He was very knowledgeable and explained all options. We ended up having everything planned and taken care of but our departure. I would definitely tell anyone needing this service to contact him.”
— Donna Dermont
“It was wonderful for what all you did for me and Mom. You both was amazing for what you did for my dad I loved him with all my heart I am so lost without him.”
— Regina Bauer
“Thank you Mike and Rita for taking care of our mom's arrangements. Your additional team members made the Memorial Service special, even helping with setting up the reception after the Memorial Service. I would also like to thank Kimberly, the Celebrant, who officiated the Memorial Service. Kimberly took the time to get to know mom by interviewing her family and friends. This was not your typical service where the person officiating basically inserted a name into their boilerplate speech. Kimberly sounded as though she actually knew my mom. Kimberly also helped with ideas and setting up a display of mom's life for all attendees to enjoy ensuring that it was indeed a celebration of her life. Thanks again to Hiers-Baxley at TimberRidge - mom was special to every life she touched and you helped out during a sensitive time.”
