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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“In 2019, my family and I encountered Phillip and Sons during a difficult time after the sudden passing of my Uncle. Then, in April 2023, we experienced more devastating losses with the unexpected death of my Mother and Grandmother. Amidst our grief, Mr. Phillip and his team demonstrated unparalleled compassion and professionalism from the very first call. Their support was invaluable, guiding us through our darkest moments with grace and understanding. Now in 2024 they’ve served us yet again with the same service and now in our hometown of Alachua Fl. Every time they have served my family it’s been the same, they simply provide great service and I’m proud to say my family chooses Phillip and Sons as our death care professionals.”
— Queondric Boykin
“My God, My God, My God. It is hard burying a loved one, especially your child. From the initial phone call to current, Mr. Bernard and his staff/family treated my family as if we were the only family he was serving. The professionalism, patience, humility, care and concern is unmatched. Mr. Bernard was calling me when I should've been calling him for things. I will never forget the service we received. We were treated like family. I will never forget the Phillips and Sons experience. It is an experience of excellence! I can't thank them enough. Even after the service, Mr Bernard reached out and showed love. My baby looked amazing! Like he was sleeping. Lord, I THANK YOU❤️❤️❤️”

“Phillip & Sons treated us with the utmost respect and compassion. When my mom passed, I called 5+ funeral services in the area. I didn’t know where to turn. Too many were “all business.” I didn’t want to feel like honoring my mom’s memory was “just another sale.” Phillip & Sons were the first to say how sorry they were to hear about my loss. To show true empathy and kindness. They handled everything with heart and professionalism. The ease of the process brought me peace while I was navigating a very emotionally difficult time. I’m so grateful.”
