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
“John Hill at James Funeral Home was extremely organized, professional, and a pleasure to work with while handling the cremation and memorial service for the recent death of my father. He listened, really listened, as my mother described what services she would like from James Funeral Home. The service and reception following were exactly what she had envisioned. Thank you to John and the team there at the funeral home for making an emotional time and day, uplifting and memorable as she had requested.”
— Jeanne Gilmore
“James Funeral Home was a true blessing to our family during a very difficult time. Sam and his staff were incredibly kind, compassionate, and respectful. Sam took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and made sure we never felt rushed or overwhelmed. Their care and professionalism helped ease our burden, and we will always be grateful for the way they honored our mom.”
— Helen Fallon
“James has been the funeral home of choice for our family twice in the last few years - once for a cremation and the most recent, an out-of-state preparation and transport. Both experiences were as professional and pleasant as such an occasion can afford. The facility has a welcoming and comforting atmosphere with easy access and spacious areas for visitation/viewing. No doubt their services will be needed again, and there will be no hesitation to use them. Thanks to Dwaine and all staff.”
— Terra Kincaid
