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
“Dickson was wonderful and most notably, Casey. Our mom was transported from VA to TN where she was laid to rest in a family managed section of the cemetery. He was so warm and engaging/helpful on phone and even moreso in person. Communicated well with our second cousin regarding logistics. Everyone patiently waited while two folks raced back to hotel to retrieve the casket flowers forgotten in the hotel. Special touch which I have never seen nor will ever forget: Casey handed me and my 3 sisters bright pink roses from our casket flower bouquet and a large blush pink rose to my dad (which I did not see until dad placed his last) to place on her casket before it was sealed. A dear moment. Would trust them with all aspects to honor your loved ones and those grieving. Much appreciation for their true sincerity and profound kindness.”
— Kathy Burruss

— Liz Holloway
“The funeral director and staff were easy to work with, communicated well, were prompt in returning calls and emails, and were always professional. They made a difficult process as easy as possible and ensured the service ran smoothly. Most importantly, they helped us honor our loved one the way we wanted him honored. They partnered with us. Such a wonderful staff!”
