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
“The entrance is not where Google tells you. When you get from the trolley walk left, past the closed gate show on Google. There will be another gate marker as exit, but you can enter it on foot. It is a clean well maintained cemetery. This was a nice stop.”

“Sylvia went above and beyond for our dad’s service earlier this year (Bobby Guidry). She made it so personal and special for us and really went above and beyond. She even took the attached photo for us to show that my dad sent her a sign that he was happy with everything after everyone left. Now we have Sylvia helping us again for our mom’s service and couldn’t be more grateful to have the same wonderful angel helping us through this difficult situation again so soon.”
— Ashley Dimitri
“Quick walk before rains came down. Very interesting and a good way to see some history. Enjoyed a stroll and I was only person I saw that morning so both peaceful and spooky too”
— Alex Bunger
