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
“Because my beloved husband passed away over the holidays, we were faced with certain church service timelines. My daughter called no less than five local funeral homes and Natchez Trace was the only one who would guarantee my husband's cremation within the time frame we needed. When my son and I went to their offices to finalize all the arrangements, Stephen Deal could not have been more respectful or helpful. Indeed, Stephen was readily available by both phone and email over the next couple of days and went above and beyond contractual obligations, both before and after the funeral. At a time when you are most vulnerable, you need to deal with a business you can trust; therefore, I have no reservation at all in recommending Natchez Trace Funeral Home.”

“The staff at Natchez Trace Funeral Home are phenomenal. They are kind and patient and take extraordinary measures to make the grieving experience as easy as possible. My dad had to be flown in from another state. They handled every single detail seamlessly. Stephen Deal could not have been kinder or more attentive. He even seemed to truly enjoy our memorial service making complimentary comments about our speeches for our dad. He seemed to blend in almost as a part of our family. I would give this organization 50 stars if I could. There could not be a better funeral home experience anywhere! The family of William E. Lum will be forever grateful.”
— Donna Bowlin
“We held services for my beloved wife, Sharron Byrd, at Natchez Trace Funeral Home today. We had plots out at Lakewood we had bought in the early 70’s. We could have not been more pleased with all the facets of services they did. On a scale of 1-5, they’d rate 10. Also, I want to thank Butch Hammock for his work and making everything as easy as possible during such a turbulent and sad time. You can bet, when I’m called home, my children know who to contact. Again, thank you Butch and The Natchez Trace Funeral Home employees who made this difficult day a blessing!”
— David Byrd
