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
“Very beautiful all faith cemetery that is immaculately maintained, especially the older section. The older section is sprinkled with a interesting mixture of massive ornate headstones, obelisk statues, crypts and mausoleums dating back to the 1890's. It's a very peaceful and a respectful resting place. By its nice appearance and well manicured grounds it is undoubtedly well managed.”
— R David Koby
“My husband was buried here in 2002 and I will be too once I pass on to glory, my children were young when my husband got killed in an accident and they were very nice and attentive to them with their question, when my daug. asked if their were more people there that ride motorcycles the woman (Rep.) responded, tell your dad to meet at the flag poll and he’ll meet other motorcycles that are there, I knew then that I had chosen the BEST resting place for my husband... their clean and well maintained AND they don’t close (no gate) so I can visit whenever I like.”
— Robin S.
“My mom, father, sister and brother in law are all there. It started in 1976, then 1989, 2001 and finally in June of this year, 2019. My family has experienced nothing but exemplary service since 1976. I, too, expect to be in the mausoleum with my family as well. Thank you, Mr. Harris !”
