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
“Our experience with Leevy Funeral Home in Columbia, SC, for the services of our Precious Queen, Helen Marie Hye, was nothing short of exceptional and top-tier. The entire team—from the drivers to the funeral directors—provided unparalleled service and professionalism. Our specific coordinator, Taliaferro, deserves immense praise. He was extremely knowledgeable, guiding us seamlessly through every detail of the process. The level of care, compassion, and attention to detail shown by Leevy and its associates was truly second to none. They went above and beyond, making us feel that this was far more than a business transaction; they genuinely listened, understood our concerns, and embraced our grief. Thank you, Leevy and your associates, for being so incredibly supportive, kind, and compassionate during our time of loss. You honored our Queen beautifully and made an unbearable process manageable.”
