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
“They were extremely helpful in helping us to transport my mother back from Atlanta to Memphis. They handled everything with so much care and concern. My family is truly grateful for their patience and kindness through the entire process. Special thanks to Lee Slater who walked us through the process and answered all of our many questions. I will definitely refer them to everyone during their time of need. Your entire staff is great at what they do! Thank you again!!”

“I attended the fineral of a childhood friend on Satuday October 25, 2025 at N.J. Ford and Son's Funeral Home. There has been a remodel of the interior. The entire interior has been replaced with white marble tile, on the walls and floors. That makes walking while wearing leather sole shoes very difficult. I would hate to think how it would be on a rainy day.”
— Vernell Stepter, III
“What an exceptionally wonderful experience! 10 out of 10 in my book. We had no worries at all working with this funeral home. Mr. Lee & his team did an awesome job. They all went above & beyond. It's the little things that count for me & they did so many wonderful little things that we, the family didn't even think of but they did to make our experience & the passing of our father so much more bearable. Allen did an excellent job on the grooming of my father, I showed him a picture & he got it right! Any concerns or questions we had, they said we got you & that they did, they took care of it & our father! I could go on & on about the greatness of them all. The attitudes were always wonderful, the attire was always on point, the family car drivers were very nice & looked beautiful. I look at things like this..good people see good people. Wonderful experience, awesome customer service. I've been telling everyone about them. Top notch & my dad would have it no other way. He would be proud & I thank them for that!”
