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.

“I cannot say enough about Ramsey Wallace Funeral Home & Chapel and the incredible service they provide. From the moment my family and I first walked through their doors, we were treated with the utmost compassion, dignity, and professionalism. Losing a loved one is never easy, but Dr. Wallace and his staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was handled with care, allowing us to focus on grieving and honoring our loved one. What stood out the most was the combination of professionalism and genuine compassion. This was not simply a business transaction to them—it was a sacred responsibility. Dr. Wallace and his team listened carefully to our needs, honored our requests, and provided thoughtful suggestions when we felt overwhelmed. Every single staff member treated us with kindness and respect, making us feel like family during one of the most difficult times of our lives. The service itself was beautiful and seamless. From the preparation to the ceremony, everything was carried out with excellence. The presentation of our loved one was dignified and peaceful, which brought us great comfort. Their attention to detail, from the program to the atmosphere in the chapel, reflected how much they truly care about the families they serve. Another aspect that I deeply appreciated was their willingness to work with us regarding our budget while never compromising the quality of service. They showed understanding, patience, and flexibility, which is something rare to find. It was clear their priority was ensuring we felt supported and cared for, not just as clients, but as people walking through loss. I wholeheartedly recommend Ramsey Wallace Funeral Home to anyone in need of these services. They are more than just a funeral home—they are a team of people who walk alongside you in a time of deep pain, bringing comfort, peace, and dignity to both the family and the memory of the loved one being honored. I am forever grateful for their compassion, professionalism, and dedication.”

“Ramsey Wallace Funeral Home is a very caring, compassionate, family-oriented funeral home. When you enter the funeral home, it is a devastating time, yet a sense of peace comes over you. I trusted them with my daddy, and I was not disappointed. Dr. Wallace and Deidre knew how hard this was going to be for me, and they went above and beyond. He made my daddy look like he just fell asleep. The cost was within our budget and done exactly as I requested. I have no doubt who will be entrusted to care for my family when the time comes. Thank You RW and Associates”

“I had my Grandmother and Grandfather serviced through Ramsey Wallace Funeral Services and both times they were very accommodating working with our budget. My grandmother looked beautiful. It is a black owned business thus why I went to them. I'm sure he would of done a wonderful job with my grandfather (who was a white guy) but he was cremated. I was able to create a nice video tribute and they played it during the ceremony and such. They took care of my family as if we were royalty.”
