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.

“Staff is very good at communicating. Teresa and Caroline were amazing helping with our loved one’s funeral and burial arrangements. Helped as liaisons for florist, as well. Prices are also very reasonable.”

“Best funeral home around! I love the funeral home itself but all the staff made it that much better. They are compassionate and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. They were so helpful throughout this entire process and made it easy, as we were all new to this. Teresa is the absolute best! When I pass away this is where I want to be!”
— Erica Gowin
“Mr: Jones and his staff are the most wonderful people in the world. I wouldn't want anyone else to take care of me or my loved ones. They have taken care of my grandmother, dad, and my grandfather and they did an excellent job.”
