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
“On behalf of the Dillon Family, Pastor Reed and his assistants at Royal Reed Funeral Home were very professional and caring. Shortly after notifying Pastor Reed of our loved one passing, he took the time to come to our house and walk us through step-by-step on what to expect throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and our requests made the family feel special. A lot of small things were included in the price which made the process flow a little easier. Thank you Pastor Reed for taking care of the Dillon Family in our time of Bereavement. God has blessed you to be a blessing for others!!”
