Minor-Morris Funeral Home

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 son passed away, and Mr. Terry Morris, & his staff went above and beyond for the transportation & professional care of my son's remains. They were courteous, patient, and showed me & my older sons sympathy & love. I would definitely recommend anyone going through difficult loss to give Minor-Morris a call. They are so helpful, and kind.”

“What happened to you as a business for the people?? Its just for profit now. Her coffin should NOT have been hanging out the back of hearse when family arrived. The 4-5 men employed by you insisted on waiting for pall bearers despite your men having a rolling cart. We couldn't bury her because you DID NOT call cemetery til day of funeral, we found out after all of us drove to the cemetery following your hearse WITHOUT police escort; Yes, some family got lost! & sorry, you going to the house to talk to family AFTER all that went down was a bunch of lip service. & of course no money returned despite the loyalty of pre-paid services. Rest in peace 4 days AFTER the funeral because of YOU! Y'ALL DID US WRONG!”

“My experience with minor funeral home was very pleasant. I got my mom's affairs in order with Deidria and she was the most professional person I have ever seen. (This was my first time ever making arrangements for a loved one's death).I was a bag of nerves when I went in but she made me feel very comfortable. I also had a friend with me that said she was quite impressed with her. I did not have to lift a finger. I am and will always be forever greatful for making a decision to take my loved one to Minor funeral.”
