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
“I would strongly recommend this funeral home to anyone who has lost their loved ones. Eric, the manager, understood the assignment. Everything went smoothly and he made sure everything was done. He relieved so much pressure of hosting a funeral. They were patient, available anytime, and communication was on point no matter how many questions were asked. Always professional no matter what circumstances came their way. The day of the funeral was splendid and well organized. Even our guest said if they ever needed a funeral home, this would be their number one choice. The staff did an extraordinary job, from drivers, to the people who worked at the funeral home themselves. I definitely don't want to go back because I want to remain alive, but since we're all going. I would definitely choose this place again in a heartbeat. Thank you all once again!”
— Daphne Gustave
“Weirs Funeral home is the best. They're very caring. My mother was waked there and I was extremely satisfied with the services . The ground was too frozen for burial. They kept my mother until we were able to. It made us so much more at ease.”
