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
“We used the Ballard & Sons funeral home in Middletown. Tyler was amazing in helping us navigate through out uncle's cremation and funeral. He gave us options if we were unsure and listened to us. We never felt rushed and always received a quick response. Tyler listened so well that he had surprised us at the family viewing with some nice touches that were truly our uncle. The display of the urn at the burial was wonderful. The whole team respected our requests and accommodated us. They also followed-up with us afterwards to see how we were all doing and if they could help any other way. Thank you is not enough!”
— Shannon Brown
