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
“Hancliffe is a very clean and spacious building that feels very welcoming. The process of preparing for the funeral was explained very well and everything turned out nicely. Andrew was very gracious in helping us set everything up and gave the family space to mourn. The building is also very close to St. Rose Church and across the street from Gate of Heaven Cemetery, which removes the headache of a long funeral drive and makes everything much simpler. I have had three family members in this home and there was never any issue.”
— Greg P
“You would think these people are used to being sensitive around loved ones who pass away. Scott has no shame in treating people disrespectfully. Do not use them if you treasure your family. We asked, and drafted a copy of a “proper” obituary and they posted the “incorrect “ and inappropriate information anyway!”
— Asher
“My father's wake was held here. They were very nice and helpful and we had a good experience.”
— Otis Bentley
