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
“The people at this funeral home are phenomenal, especially Shirley. Two years ago a dear friend passed away in Tomball with no immediate family. Her niece was responsible for taking care of everything. We did know that she wanted her ashes comingled with her husband's. The closest funeral home that would do it was Sam Houston and they were so accommodating. The next hurdle was the VA cemetery. The niece was trying to handle from out of town and was not getting much help from the VA so once again she turned to Shirley who guided her, providing contacts at the VA who were awesome and a minister who would travel to the cemetery plus a flag for the ceremony. For over a year we called upon Sam Houston Funeral Home and Shirley several times for help during a difficult time and they never failed us. We were definitely blessed when we found them.”

“My Mom passed away after a 6 week battle with cancer. When Greg arrived to transport my mom to the funeral home, I felt a sense of peace in the way he spoke with me. When it came time to make decisions, Wil walked me through every step and made sure that we were getting exactly what Mom would have wanted. He made the process very easy. Shirley is a blessing to speak with at any point and time. They were also all wonderful in supporting my young children through this experience.”
— Ginger Dolan
“Will Smith has been nothing but helpful, He has worked with us even we we changed the burial site two days before. They treated us like family, and made this difficult time so much easier for us. They allowed us to take out time & went above and beyond. I could recommend them enough. Everyone in the office has been so sweet!”
