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
“They are affordable and have a place to bury cremation remains, but they never return your calls. No one is ever in the office to help you”
— MC
“Silverbrook Cemetery has no regard for our loved ones! Today I had to dig 4 times in thick dead grass to find members of my family! Shame on you! Get your act together🤬”
— Marie Parks
“Please, please read this before choosing this for your loved ones!! This place is terrible. I went to visit my families resting place just to not find them. I know the place by heart and to see their plaques were completely covered and nowhere to be found, I'm assuming from more current burials around them.. it broke me. I sat next to the tree that's next to them and just couldn't believe they weren't there. As I paid my respects I noticed many grave sites had collapsed in, tombstones broken, trash and just an blatant disrespect for our deceased. If your family is buried here, my advice would be to visit and check the site. I uncovered at least 10 myself. These people deserve to be in prison or worse. God may be forgiving but not to this, to whoever runs/works at this place, you reap what you sow. I'll be making some calls after the holidays to see what can be done. Even if it starts with a petition to remove the current owners/workers and allowing the state to own/run it would be much better than this.”
