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
“Street signs and grave markers are being stolen at the mena cemetery of Pinecrest. Nothing gets cleaned upkeep is shoddy. They don't care and no way to let anyone know there's a problem. If you want your loved ones graveside properly cared for, they're not the ones to do so. My family's lane signs have been missing for over a year”
— Tara Galvan
“Tarra and Pete were great to work with. They were able to locate additional plots very near where the rest of my family are buried. I mainly chose this cemetery because it is where my family is. The only issue I have had is the amount of damage that they have allowed to go unrepaired to headstones caused by mowers. When they damaged my brother and grandparents headstones they got them repaired quickly. Other headstones in the same area that were not my family have not been repaired and we are going on two years since I reported them as being damaged. Just because they may not have family reporting the issue doesn't mean they should ignore the damage.”
— Wesley Lyles
“This place is terrible! Terribly expensive and it keeps going up and they change rules without proper notification! If I could I’d rip my loved ones up and start a new cemetery!!! The rules for headstones the fees to open and close a grave are out of this world!!! Please reconsider burying your loved one else where!!!! Been on the phone now on hold going on five minutes just for someone to say I’ll take a message”
