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
“My folk's graves are afterthoughts. The site is always overgrown, and gravesite plaques sink every year; we do maintenance ourselves. We've even trimmed a tree of dead branches. My dad's been there since 1993, it used to be beautiful, back when when my mom bought 3 gravesites. Now she's buried there (2003) and the deteroration is stark. Don't do it.”

“FIRST OF ALL, THE ONLY REASON THIS PLACE HAS THE RATING IT HAS IS BECAUSE 3 "LOCAL GUIDES" SUBMITTED 5 STAR REVIEWS WITH NO ACTUAL REVIEW TO BACK UP WHY JUST TO PAD THE REVIEWS. OTHERWISE THIS WOULD BE A 1 STAR PLACE It has been a bit since I went there, but someone else brought this place up and I thought I should write a review. The first thing I noticed when I pulled in to visit the mausoleum was the weeds everywhere coming through the parking lot and how unkempt everything looked. Weeds around headstones, sunken headstones. Does anyone take care of this place,? Entered the mausoleum and there is a definite stale odor. Unpleasant. Went to the second floor down and the whole floor had no lighting except SOME of the shadow boxes. Only SOME. Did have a crazy encounter, though. Stopped at one shadowbox and was admiring how beautiful tge woman was in the picture from when she was young, and I said out loud to my friend, "Look, she is so beautiful" and from down the hallway came a muffled female "Thank you" . She rests on the second floor down, right hand side, sort of toward the end of the hall. Call me crazy, but...hey. At any rate, a BIG HARD PASS ON THIS DUMP. I WAS THERE FOR ONLY AN HOUR AND SAW NOTHING BUT POOR MSINTENENCE EVERYWHERE. DO RIGHT BY YOUR LOVED ONE AND STEER CLEAR.”

“30 years ago this place was absolutely beautiful......today it is in shambles. My father was laid to rest here in June 2019 and my family is appalled at the sight and care of this place. The once beautiful fountains are broke down and full of algae and critters. The irrigation is not working. The grounds are unkept and the gravestones are overgrown. Something must be done! I smell a lawsuit!”
