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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“They have been absolutely excellent and totally professional. My son passed away at age 21. It was really difficult to deal with. We didn't have the money to properly have a funeral but they worked out a plan. We can pay him. Besides that, every service and every minute of what they did was excellent. I couldn't recommend if you ever in the situation or need a place to memorial acts a loved one. This would be the place I would recommend”
— Shawn Katolick
“This one hits hard but at the same time I had no complaints. This was a personal family owned business and found out it no longer is. But, Tiffany is still there and has been for quite some time and that helped with the transition and family based connection. I appreciate everything and the last minute necklace urns that miss jessica helped us with. These ladies are amazing and so accommodating. I appreciate all of your help. Rachel hayden/morgan”
— Rachel Morgan
“They are the kindest and most helpful people you could ever choose for your loved ones. They have now helped me with the passing of my mom and dad. They are most helpful and show great empathy to their clients.”
— Amber Barnett
