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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“Each time I visit my grandmother's final resting place, it has been destroyed by the yards keepers. When I complained to the news owners, I was assured this wouldn't happen again. Her grave was completely covered up, I reset her headstone that had been broken cleaned up around the area and today it was destroyed again. So the new owners can't lay fault on anyone else. I guess the only way to get results is to contact the News network. This needs to sease and be corrected. November 27, 2022 the area has been cleaned and new flowers.”
— Wanda Smith
“Good Afternoon, On March 29th, we laid my cousin to rest. It has now been two months since her burial, and we recently went to pay our respects by laying flowers at her grave on Sunday, May 25. To our shock, we found an unmarked grave containing a casket, with no dirt covering it. We cannot be certain if this is our loved one, as there is no name indicated. Regardless of whether it is our family member or not, this is illegal and utterly unacceptable. I am extremely dissatisfied with Middle Georgia Memorial Gardens; their lack of regard for the deceased and grieving families is appalling. We demand answers about my cousin’s whereabouts! Where is Estella West?!”
— Alexandria Lunn
“Can anyone tell me how to get in touch with the owners of this cemetery? Please post an email or phone #. Thank you!”
