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
“Within hours of finding out my father passed this funeral home called me and launched right into their prices, without even an I am sorry for your loss. Astonishingly cold and strictly business. Do NOT recommend In response to your response - this would believable if you had actually said the words sorry for your loss, typically this should be first before the pricing spiel, but you didn't at any point soooo... Again we are all aware you're running a business. The R T Foard runs a business with a heart and compassion. You run a business. Probably the wrong one based on your approach. I hope this review does stop another family from choosing you. Go to R T Foard instead.”

“I cannot begin to express how caring, thorough, and compassionate the entire team at Hicks Home for Funerals was for our family during our time of loss. Kristen took us step by step through the process, though mournful and heart-breaking, with professionalism, kindness, and meticulous attention to detail. She was incredibly flexible and accommodating to my loved one's request to have her hairdresser attend to her after her passing. The grieving process was eased tremendously by the team at Hicks Home for Funerals. I will be forever indebted to them for everything that they did for our family.”
— Michael Magaw
“I highly recommend Hick's Home For Funerals in Elkton, Maryland. When they say they're "committed to serve you and your family with dignity and respect" they mean it. And today, when a lot of businesses and a lot of people say a lot of things and don't mean it, that in itself provides a comfort. Don, Kristen and the entire staff there work as a team. They are professional, caring and understanding. They listen to what you want and what you don't want. They explain the details and the options that are available. I highly recommend them because they did all of the above for my family and I when we were in need of their services.”
