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
“When my father in-law passed away they put my husband at ease. They took care of everything, even went beyond to match with the right pastor. They did a fantastic job on the obituary! My father in-law had his funeral planned out with them made it that much easier.”
— Natalie Conner
“7:30 am They were supposed to pickup my husband’s body within an hour and half , 4:00 I arrived and he was still in the Martinsville coroner’s office. I was told I had to purchase a coffin to cremate with him , they no longer rent coffins, I said I don’t want all the ashes from a coffin, I was told that they don’t leave a lot of ashes. My husband had contacted them and told me to take him there for the funeral because they would only charge $2500. I was charged $8803.25 then the day of the service the family was not allowed to go in until I arrived causing a cruel amount of heartaches for them. They couldn’t order the urn that I wanted so when I received the urn I took it and the ashes back there to have the ashes put in the urn , but they didn’t fit , my husband only weighed about 110 pounds but they only got about half of the ashes in the urn , so I took them home and may need to order another urn . The person who I dealt with showed up at the funeral in need of grooming, she was wearing inappropriate clothing and shoes , she was totally incompetent to be a funeral director.”
— B. Gayle Hodge
“From John (director) to every other staff member we met, everyone was kind, professional and accommodating. A staff member was always available or prompt to call back and act on our questions and requests. Information was passed through the funeral home quickly and efficiently. We felt so welcome there. The building and outdoor area were clean, calm, well maintained and inviting. TV's for personal photos and other tech worked perfectly. They made everything as easy as a funeral can be and my family and I felt very valued and cared for, like human beings.”
