How funeral pricing works
Funeral pricing is built from individual items: professional services, transportation, facilities, merchandise such as caskets or urns, and cemetery or cremation charges. The FTC Funeral Rule, a federal consumer-protection rule, gives you the right to an itemized General Price List, the right to choose individual items, and the right to receive pricing over the phone. Reeder-Davis follows the rule and explains each charge in plain language so there are no surprises.
