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
“Brady went above and beyond for my Grandma and our family. They were very supportive, fairly priced, was able to play requested music, and the venue is beautiful and well kept. I recommend this business to anyone needing final arrangement planning.”
— Hannah Bleck
“First off it is a funeral home so it is not as much fun as one would think, but it is a fair price and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The treat everybody like you would like to be treated, we have been dealing with Plumb-Smith Funeral services for many years. Yes I know they are charging more than you can get coffins online but the service makes up for the money you may save. If you need this type of service this is a good place to go.”
— Larry Korpi (Dick Withers)
“Brady Smith has been wonderful to work with! Unfortunately I had to bury my brother in January who died in Tennessee and it was wonderful how much he helped me in many ways including getting him up here. Now I need to bury my mother and he has made this so much easier than other ones I have dealt with! I would highly recommend this funeral home! They are extremely kind and will help you through the entire process. It is hard enough to go through the loss of a loved one but he makes it so much easier! Thank you again Brady!
