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
“Loosing my husband of 20 years has been a traumatic, painful, and surreal experience. A very difficult time in a person's life is trying to make arrangements in this state. Joseph treated me with respect and compassion. He was straight forward and upfront about the entire process. He even had the care and concern to give me his cell number and let me know that I could call him anytime. His genuine compassion will not be forgotten. Thank you Joseph.”
— Tara Bennett
“I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The staff was very helpful, informative and went above and beyond to help the entire process went as stress free as possible. Grateful is a understatement.”
— Erika McGinnis
“My family and I drove from California and Oregon to Morristown for my aunt's funeral. We got to meet the owner, his beautiful wife and employees. They had a very reasonable rate with a 5 star service. They gave us extra 3 free viewing hrs so that the family traveling long distance could say good bye! I would recommend this place if you are looking for some one to be there for you and your family. In times of pain this wonderful people where next to us from start to finish! Thank you! Eddie from California”
