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
“Bill and the staff went above and beyond for us when my mom passed. From the first phone call to the day of the service. The staff was compassionate, professional, and very supportive. We truly appreciate the care they gave our mom and to us.”
— Randy Cox
“The experience of arranging someone's final resting place with Blue Ridge Memorial Gardens was a nightmare. The staff, specifically Roger Vandal and Danita Barr, are incomplete, unprofessional, and lack compassion. If it weren't for my father's last wish to be laid to rest by his father and brother, I would have walked away. I will encourage all of my family to consider somewhere else for their loved ones.”
— Kristie Lewis
“Blue Ridge was more than I could’ve asked for. We had pre-planned for momma’s service months before (probably a year) so all we had to do was call them when she passed. We had to enlist help from a funeral home in SC (where she lived with me) but was going to be entombed in Blue Ridge mausoleum with her husband. Maybe twomore phone calls was all we had and the service was beautiful. Just what Momma wanted.”
— Loren Carrigan
