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
“Our experience with Berry Highland South was comforting and amazing. I lost my husband and every detail from start to finish was provided with exceptional care. When someone loses a loved one it’s hard to face the challenges that are ahead of you but the staff helped guide me through the process. Even after the services were provided they continued to check on me. They truly care from start to finish and beyond. I wish I could provide more than 5 stars.”
