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.

“When our family lost our beloved mother, we were completely overwhelmed and totally lost. Zach Ross guided us with compassion and professionalism. He was very knowledgeable in handling every detail. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Zach and the entire staff of Raleigh Rucker Funeral Home. He even made it a point in making sure that there was special pink tip roses for our mother's casket spray, which was a very touching moment. The viewing room was beautiful and serene while displaying photos and playing music in the background. We will be forever grateful for the kindness and warmth everyone at Rucker's Funeral Home showed to our family. Also, the beautiful blanket was a wonderful surprise, which my family requested additional copies. Much Thanks to Great Customer Service!! The Mosley Family”
