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
“No compassion for patients that have passed with a terminal illness. Only worried about money. At some point, compassion has to come before money. Refusing services after someone has been deceased 3 days for “legal reasons.” I would rate ZERO stars, if possible. Chuck Sims is rude and has NO compassion.”
— Gunner Carter
“We're not comforting during bereavement, in fact several employees were rude. Was not informed as to what papers were being signed. Was pressured into signing under duress. I don't recommend this place if you are grieving, as they show no compassion for the family.”
— Karma Kiss
“Best funeral home in town, really kind funeral directors. They made sure we had everything we needed. Thanks Sims Funeral Home”
— jay turk
