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.

“Advantage crematory was excellent with the passing of my wife. Clean, efficient and totally for the families. Funeral director Chris White took care of everything. He was truly a god send. Very compassionate and totally knows his job. He went above and beyond to help with insurance as well. Thanks from the Messer family.”

“Although my husband wasn't cremated, I chose Wappner Cremation Center to handle our services. I even scheduled a viewing. Everything from my first meeting with them to after the graveside service was done with professionalism, caring & attention to detail. Chris White made sure to stay in touch with me to make certain all my needs were met. The entire staff was friendly & knowledgeable answering any questions and concerns I had. I was disappointed that the Cremation Center does not offer online condolences; however, the obituary was posted on their website.”

“When I lost my mom 2yrs ago on March 5, I was devastated. Everyone that worked with me with my mom was very respectful carrying and understanding. They walked us through every detail. Helped me understand what was going to happen and when. On April 27,2021 I lost my husband. Wappner has shown us the same love and respect and understanding.
