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.

What Families Say
“I worked in funeral services about ten years ago here in Gadsden. This week I had to return to Alabama to bury my Grandfather. My Grandfather was one of the most important people in my life. My family and I were more than pleased from start to finish. The two young men that came to pick up my grandfather were so kind and patient with us. Mr. Yates and the Rev. D. Jack Smith provided my family with the upmost courtesy and reverence during this time, and were both beyond professional. The facility is clean, beautifully furnished and the staff takes pride in their appearance.Thank you to both the staff and ownership of this funeral home for their attention and care.”
