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
“I’d like to say thank you so much! They handled everything when my dad passed away. They took care of literally everything, and was so kind to me during the process of having to lay my dad to rest. They handled the death certificates, they informed social security, and they mailed my dad home to me really quickly. They also did my dad’s fingerprints so that we could do keepsake jewelry/tattoos with his fingerprints. I would definitely recommend them for anyone in the future. Thank you again, for making things happen for my family even though we were in west Virgina and my dad in Florida. We are all very grateful ❤️🙏”
— Misty Mason (Misty Moe)
“I use this company for my cremation of my dad back in 2019 and now I used them again for my mom 2025. Very good people very polite I will continue using them. Affordable as well. Their service also is very quick. They get to the point I like that Customer Service reps. Thank you again for caring”
— Patty Rodriguez
“Unfortunately, experienced a very quick passing. Things were moving very fast, completed all of the paperwork and had a verbal call confirming every question on the cremation aftercare form. When we finished reviewing the form, we asked the employee to go back to the requested fingerprint section and confirm that we did want them performed. At that time, he did while on speaker phone with the family. Myself, and my two adult daughters instantly had plans with matching tattoos and a collage in memory of my wife and their mother. At the time of pickup, we were informed that there was an oversight and that the task was not performed smashing our dreams of having a permanent lifelong memory of our loved one. Besides a very apologetic gentleman, I am very surprised they had me pay in full; obviously less the $25 fee of the fingerprints with no financial compensation due to their negligence.”
