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
“Scott and the staff at Baker Funeral Home went above and beyond that expected of a funeral service to lighten our burdens during the loss of our mother. Their facilities were a perfect setting to provide a space for her numerous friends and family members to honor her life. I would highly recommend Baker Funeral Home to anyone in need! Thank you so much, Scott, for all you did to provide for our family. It will not be forgotten.”
— Robert Whiddon
“Had the pleasure of having the Baker Funeral Home prepare the services for my Mother and they by far exceeded my expectations. We had a tight timeline of getting everything done due to weather moving in and family from out of town. We also had the struggles of having to move her across state lines which in itself proposed other obstacles in getting everything done in a timely manner. Mr Scott Haynes reached out and assured us that he was taking care of everything that we did not have to worry. Long story short we were able to host the services in 4 days with time to spare. Scott and his staff were very professional and communication and support was above a 5 star review. Highly recommend this facility and his staff. Thank you to the Haynes family for making this an easy process for me and my family.”
— Jeremy Whiddon
