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
“Greetings to Newcomer Staff, First, I would like to sincerely thank you all for honoring my mom in such an empathetic, kind, and professional manner from start to finish. From the very first meeting during the selection process, my follow-up emails, and the various requests along the way, each was met with graciousness and handled with great care and precision. The Garden Room and the Viewing Room were beautiful, comfortable, and welcoming, with plenty of seating. It was especially thoughtful to have a dedicated space for food and drinks, as well as a separate area for the children in our family, which meant so much to us during a difficult time. During both the Viewing and the Funeral, everyone felt genuinely welcomed and at ease. The compassion shown through the hugs from Derika, along with Stacy’s and Judy’s empathetic and calming presence, was incredible and deeply appreciated. Their kindness provided comfort when it was needed most as we honored our Mama. What stood out the most was the genuine care shown by every staff member. Nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal, and we truly felt supported and guided through each step of the process. Your attention to detail and heartfelt compassion made an immeasurable difference for our family. We highly recommend Newcomer and will not hesitate to use your services in the future. With sincere gratitude, The Family of Sara Buettner”

“I don't leave many reviews but was moved so much by the service our family received and needed to recognize Newcomer and one of their service directors, Sherry Jett. Sherry Jett took such great care of our family. She was attentive, helpful, and very kind when working with us for our family's showing. Anything we needed, she took care of right away without hesitation. She went above and beyond to provide a wonderful experience for everyone that attended and helped make a difficult time just a little bit easier. The facility was simple but very nice. Clean, well kept, and inviting. I would recommend their services to anyone, especially if financial budgets are an issue as ours was.”
— Jordan Gates
“I unfortunately had two family members die within a few days of each other. The Newcomer staff was respectful to my depth of grief. I am grateful to the staff for their care to give me time to grieve while at the funeral home. The memorial was very well done and made me feel comforted that my family members were treated with dignity.”
