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
“Communication was very pleasant and clear as to what needed to be done. They were very helpful when I needed help to transfer ashes to the urn. They did not hesitate to transfer them for me. Everyone was very efficient, professional, pleasant and helpful. I would highly recommend them if you or a family member prefers to be cremated.”
— Valerie
“We received a suggestion from a nurse at the hospital after my mom passed to start with South Carolina Cremation Society and to do price comparisons. I called South Carolina Cremation Society, and Alicia answered my call. She was so comforting and helpful, and the cost of everything was so affordable that we decided not to call any other crematories. Donna, did an excellent job reviewing and posting the obituary. She was so helpful with this process. Both Alicia and Donna made the process so easy. They went over and beyond my expectation. Also, we received helpful information before the cremation, throughout the process and after the cremation was completed. I am so thankful for the South Carolina Cremation Society team and so glad that we chose them!”
— T Williams
