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
“They were marvelous. They really care about a family in grief. You have got to meet Stormy. She is the best! Their programs to hand out at the funeral were really colorful and great. Brooke was very helpful also. I had 2 pall bearers, the husband and the son. The 2 John's and 2 employees of the Smith Family Funeral Home carried my wife to the grave so that was already taken care of for the funeral. Wow! What service and kind folks, they are! The 2 John's were very personal and professional. Our pastor, Brother Georg Lynch, was very helpful in presiding over the service! They were very patient with me in coming up with the money to bury my wife. The aftercare person was Cathy. She was very helpful, resourceful and knowledgeable. If she didn't know the answer, she knew where to get the answer. She took some things that had to be done off my shoulders. Thanks Smith Family Funeral Home and Aftercare! I give you an A+!”
— Bill Hartley
“The staff of the Smith Funeral Homes are nothing but incredible. From the time my husband was taken out from the hospital until he was sent to the crematorium, they really went above and beyond for our family after the sudden passing of my husband. They were able to make my husband really look like himself and at peace as our family and our said their goodbyes at his viewing. This was our family's first time needing to plan arrangements and Wade facilitated this process with ease. He was compassionate, kind and extremely accommodating to all of our requests. He consistently checked up on us during each viewings to make sure that things were going smoothly and to see if we were okay. Wade really showed his excellence for us when he stepped away from his own family and arranged a short time for my sisters in law who came from other states to see my husband on Sunday by which the funeral home is closed. It meant the world to us. I also want to thank funeral director during the cortege, for accommodating our requests and making sure that my husband will be sent to the final place with dignity and respect. Thank you Wade and Smith Funeral home staff for your wonderful services during this difficult time in our lives.”
