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
“The staff here are incredible. They are incredibly compassionate, kind, detailed, and honest. After having the unfortunate experience of seeing how some of the other local funeral homes operate we will no longer use anyone else. We also highly recommend Heidi for pre-need arrangements. Her genuine spirit, honesty, knowledge and kindness were a breath of fresh air. Thank you!”
— Kate S.
“Absolutely the best funeral home around Courteous, compassionate staff and the best service anywhere. They did my father, Bobby Jenkins Sr.’s funeral on October 27, 2022. People actually commented on how beautiful the arrangements were. Nothing was a problem. “You want the biggest parlor? That’s no problem.” Collier Butler did my Mother’s arrangements in 2005, with the same level of quality of service, and I plan to have them do mine. Simply the best that there is.”
— Bobby Jmail
“Cody has been absolutely wonderful helping me through my mom’s and dad’s funerals. They had panned and prepaid their arrange ments which made it much easier for me and also turned out to be a good investment.”
— Olivia Kendrick
