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
“After talking to Sharon we called another funeral parlor and took our mom out of there. After we payed them $900 to get her back. She acted like we couldn't afford what we were getting and kept trying to talk us into cheaper things. Because she didn't think we could afford it. She's was rude and talked down to us. We've given them thousands and thousands of dollars in the past, And never had a problem dealing with Tim. So we didn't expect this treatment. Then she wanted the whole $8000 in 1 day. Just so she knows we paid the new funeral parlor in full, and in cash, after they told us don't worry about the payment. Do yourself a favor and don't use these "people". Thank you Southcoast Chapel Mortuary. And they're half the price.”

Even after the funeral they communicated with us and asked if there was anything we needed. I cannot thank Sharon, Millie, Tim and Troy enough for all that they did. They made a difficult time so much easier.”
