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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“Patty the sales manager is a poor excuse of a member of management. My father passed away in Nov 24. His headstone came in April. Was delivered to cemetery in April. They have yet on July 14, 2025 to install it. She keeps telling me is how busy they are and will have it in two weeks. Well next thing I’m doing is call wtvd11 news and see if Roger’s and breece and this cemetery feel about the whole city and state knowing how they treat mourning families. Don’t be a front facing employee and have a bad attitude and no empathy. You are in the empathy and sympathy business do better.”

“Been waiting on my sons stone to be put down and it not down yet paid all that money . I'm fixing to blast it on facebook and everywhere else not to buy plots here if you're putting a stone on the grave. I'm not satisfied at all ! We have a friend that was going to put it down for us and thus is what he does , they own Bass memorial . He does this several times a week for his mother at different burials.”
— Barfield Janet
“It was nice for both of my parents to be near my work for frequent visits. But going forward, they have lawn people that ride across the granite, destroying anything extra you've added for remembrance. My parents vase was hit, bent, would not turn to stabilize. Eventually it was hit again and it disappeared. They were not willing to replace, although I have pictures of mower tracks literally going over it. Even the brass holder is cracked, that's a hard blow by a machine, not NATURAL occurrences. So be careful who and where you choose to put your family, only you take care of them, no one else will.”
