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
“Wallis-Wilbanks Funeral Home, especially Kristy and James Mullis, made such a difficult time so much easier with their care and compassion. They guided us through every step with kindness and professionalism, and my mother, Judy, would have been so pleased with the beautiful service they provided. This was not the first time they have helped our family—they also cared for us during my father Bob Ferrell’s service—and each time their support has meant so much. This is a wonderful family owned and operated funeral home. Thank you, James and Kristy, for your compassion and kindness. We are deeply grateful.”
— Natalie Hunt
“Wallis-Wilbanks has provided exceptional service for my family for several generations.”
— Sufi Ameen
“They treat you like a really good family would. They don’t just act like they care they actually do. It’s the way we should be treating each other. When my mom and several of my family went to meet Jesus the funeral workers made us feel as good as possible. 100 out of a 1 to 10 scale.”
— David McCormick
