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
“I stopped by today to get a price on a headstone for myself and my wife and our daughter. Very nice and friendly staff, please to work with. We are not exactly what we are looking for as far as cremation, headstones, or bench.”
— Jeff Estep
“Sears Monument Company has done an excellent job installing three large monuments in our family cemetery near Parkersburg. As the cemetery is high on a hill and difficult to get to, Brent Sears personally came for the first two installations to make sure they went well. Also, Cathy Wright from the Parkersburg office has been very helpful. I would highly recommend Sears Monument to anyone who wants a quality job along with personal attention.”
— John Beiting
“Sears Monument Company handled adding a missing date to a headstone from 47 years ago - over the phone. They were helpful and detailed, and they even mailed me a photo of the work when it was done. We appreciate their work and are pleased with the end result. The price was very reasonable.”
— Mamie Kerr
