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
“Dignity Memorial provided compassionate, professional, and respectful care during one of the most difficult times of my life. From the very beginning, their team treated my son and our family with dignity, kindness, and genuine empathy. They explained each step of the cremation process clearly and handled everything with great care, which gave me peace of mind when I needed it most. I am deeply grateful for their support, sensitivity, and the comfort they provided during such a painful moment.”
— Rachana Bhonsle
“My Brother in Law just passed away 2 days ago. This place would not allow my husband, his sister or his daughter to view his body. I called them and the lady answering the phone was very nice and said she would have them call me. I never got a return call. They told his wife that it was not permitted. She could only see him to ID his body. No compassion to his siblings and daughter.”
— Cassy Davis
“My son died in a different state than we lived in. And Palmetto was so good about helping me out with everything I needed to do and know. I would highly recommend them.”
— M Perkins
