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
“Pathetic. People parking cars at pond fishing, mounds of ant piles on peoples grave markera, ragged growth od weeds and grass in front of funeral home, ragged building with rotted wood and gutters hanging off, rusted entry gates, piles of debree. Disrespectful. Should be fined.”
— Deidre Thompson
“I’m very disappointed in how they let the grass grow up, it’s almost above your knees. Old faded flowers scattered around the grounds. The garbage cans hadn’t even been cleaned out since Christmas time because they all had old Christmas flowers in them. But when it’s time to have your grave opened & closed they charged close to $3000. That amount is terrible!! I was planning on buying 2 plots for my husband & myself but after all that. I’ll find me a country grave site, or go to Floral Hills because they keep theirs looking nice All the Time.”
— Vicki Warren
“My father, grandparents, & Uncle are buried here. I don't come often cause it just depressed me more seeing this place look so "forgotten". So not only has the world forgotten about these folks, but so has the people/facility that is suppose too be caring for their bodies/eternal resting place. And Mr. Danny Carroll apparently you ain't done nothin. Apparently since Clays review 5 years ago. I was just here a little over a year ago & the purple/yellow flowers i put in the trash bin are STILL IN THERE! Tree limbs from the storm everywhere. I mean not trying too be ugly but surely y'all aren't burning so many people a day that not 1 single person could get out here and clean up. Hell i'd love too get away from everyone and enjoy the piece and quiet. Long as someone has access to the building for breaks/bathroom/AC....hell sign me up! Sounds like a nice, quiet, casual day picking up sticks, old flowers, fixing the vases, etc. All that little stuff makes a world of difference.”
