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
“My Grandparents and my sister are here. Owners do not take care of the grounds. Every Memorial Day weekend you can go and see family after family who have to bring rakes, brooms, weed eaters and cleaners to care for the final resting place of their loved ones. My mother was told “decoration day” is a community led event and they are not responsible. That’s true. They are not “responsible“ at all and no family member should be left in the destructive and incapable hands of this cemetery. Families should only have to visit on Decoration day to dress the graves with flowers. We should not be having to do your job!!! If you KNOW that families visit this time of year, you should have mowed the grass a day or two before. Aside from that you should care for your grounds regularly...Today families were gathered around upset of the state this place was in. It was a tragedy to see 70 year old widows on their knees trimming weeds. You should be ashamed of yourselves Memorial Gardens!!”

“Went to visit my dads grave in Feb 2019 because it was his birthday. There was several equipmemt tracks across several graves in the area. I called the office to ask they to look at fixing it and as of 3/17/19 it still has not been fixed. Also a office employee "Savannah" i believe is her name came to my dads grave and asked me to leave the property because i took a picture of my dads grave. She said it was private property and the owner wanted me removed. Another lady i believe "Courtney" in the funeral home called the police and had me pulled over when i left the cemetery. After stating the facts to the police about my visit to the cemetery they did say it was NOT PRIVATE PROPERTY. Memory lane is a county road that goes down beside the cemetery. Its time we stop being bullied and taken advantage of because families care!!! Something is done with the employees, stock holders and owners. WILL NEVER USE THIS PLACE AGAIN!!”

“They need major updates. They treat people that have family in the Garden there like no one. And removed flowers. I can see remove them a couple of weeks from Decorations. I do floral arrangements and they aren’t cheap and when you put on for some one and they go and they are gone it’s like you never put them on. Thank Goodness I take pictures of them.”
