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
“Patricia (Trish) was incredible to work with! Fortunately, dealing with funeral/cemetery arrangements is new to me but Trish was very willing to guide me through it all. Thank you for making such a hard time in my life, just a little more bearable.”
— Liza Young
“I am very disappointed my son and parents have been up there for years since 2001, 2002 and 2004, I have had no problems with all the memorials we have taken up there and I put flower boxes for flowers to grow yearly, the things we have put up there were sentimental items. I was shocked and mad when I went there to find not only my family but everybody's family were stripped clean nothing left. Not a letter or phone call to let me know you were doing this because I would have gone up there to get my items before they got thrown away like trash with no meaning.”
— Margaret Aldous (maggie56)
“The counselors at prospect cemetery are great and very supportive in the planning and implementation process during and even after a time of loss. One of the most professional and competent people I have encountered over the past 14 years was Patricia Troller. She handles every case with competence and is very supportive and sensitive to one's needs and preferences. She has been a blessing to me and my family and readily available to promptly attend to all requests and enquiries presented.”
