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.

“Mr. Benny and staff took such great care of my grandmother and my family. She looked absolutely beautiful and appeared years younger than 93. We are absolutely pleased and thank y'all for all of your care to our family. Thank you all so much!”

“My name is Bethane Middleton-Brown. I am the sister of the late Rev. DePayne V. Middleton who was one of the Emanuel 9 killed in Mother Emanuel Church on June 17, 2015. This was a hard time for me and my family. I want to give great thanks to Palmetto Funeral Home for a superb job. They were very supportive and attentive to our needs and went above and beyond to give our beloved fallen angel a very intimate and heartfelt home going service. I felt their services displayed the meaning of the poem Footprints as I felt they carried us when we were experiencing the most vulnerable time in our lives possible. We are forever grateful for the astute services they provided that got us through such a tragic experience. We are still not where we can take one day at a time due to the severity of our pain, but they have contributed to our ability to take one breath at a time, pressing on with patience and guidance that God has warranted us via my beautiful sister's spirit. "I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me."”
— Bethane Brown
