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.

“The people at Memorial Funeral Home are friendly and genuinely helpful—especially Clay. He helped me find a way to store my mother-in-law’s ashes, carefully walked me through the contract and online requirements, answered all of my questions with grace, and completed everything on his end quickly. There were many special, caring moments, but what stood out most was that everyone truly tried to make sure our needs were met during a very difficult time. They made a sad situation easier.”
