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
“Losing my mom’s husband has been one of the most difficult experiences our family has faced, but the team at Smith Family Funeral & Cremation Services made an incredibly hard time feel a little more manageable. From the very beginning, everyone there was beyond kind, compassionate and deeply respectful. They took the time to clearly and patiently explain every step of the process, which brought us so much comfort during a time when our minds and hearts were overwhelmed. Their communication was stellar and we always felt informed, supported and cared for. What truly stood out was how genuine everyone was. They treated our family with such dignity and understanding and it was clear that they truly care about the people they serve. We are incredibly grateful to the entire team at Smith Family Funeral & Cremation Services for guiding us through such a painful time with kindness, professionalism and compassion. Their support meant more to us than words can fully express.”

“John is the nicest person to work with. There was sincere care and concern in his voice. He made a difficult task very smooth and effortless. I highly recommend Smith Family Funeral & Cremation Services.”
— Melody McFarlane
“Losing my Daddy was by far the worst day of my life. I had no idea where to go or who to call. My uncle made a few phone calls, and had mentioned how nice John was when they spoke. When I called he made sure I understood everything. They were so patient with me and absolutely phenomenal throughout all of this. When people ask me who handled my Daddy’s cremation, and I mention them, all I hear are good things. I don’t think my heart could handle anymore grief. I’ll forever recommend these fantastic people. I can’t thank them enough for everything.”
