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'm not sure I have the faculties to articulate what the service rendered by EG Cummings Memorial Funeral Home for my father-in-law, Sidney T. Williams, means to my family and I. The attention to detail and professionalism were only outshone by the genuine care and concern that were expressed from the moment we reached out to them, until the family was dropped off at home after the repast. The warmth and comfort extended to my family truly made a difficult time a little easier to bear. I would be remiss if I failed to mention our family car drivers, Lovell Williams and Courtney Vane...those gentlemen were superb. Thank you from the family of Mr. Williams for doing what you do, but more importantly, how you do it.”

“The Family of the Late Lynda D. Chapman would like to give our sincere THANK YOU to E.G. Cummings FH and Roderic Clark. Mr. Clark did an EXCEPTIONAL job walking us through the services for our mom. From helping us through our tears, laughing about making sure our mom's hair was right, helping to pick out the right outfit and walking us through our first look. Roderic is now family for life. He helped us with our peace, he took care of our mama. Thank You E.G. Cummings and God bless you Roderic for being God's angel here on earth.”
