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
“Our sales lady was totally awesome. I could barely hold it together and she made the process as stress free as possible for us which I totally appreciated. She also helped us make our arrangements in a timely manner. And on the dreaded day everything was perfect from start to finish. She was Great in our most vulnerable time of need.”
— Rose Vinet
“Our mother had made her final plans 3 years prior to her passing. When the time came to go through the final preparations to lay her to rest, Ms. Coral Wyche, was a great help. We didn’t feel rushed and we were very satisfied with the outcome. The day we put our mother’s urn into the crypt with our father, Ms. Coral was there with our family and never left our side. She made us feel like family and embraced us with much love and respect. Thank you, Ms. Coral. ❤️”
— Pam Wattigney
“Making final arrangements for a loved one is never easy, even when it is preplanned. However, Mary and the staff at Leitz Eagan Westside were very professional and responsive throughout the process. Highly recommended for your loved one’s funeral arrangements. Stress free. We did need to have the memorial service within 1 week after death due to out of town family dynamics. This meant my mother’s body would not be cremated in time. The urn she picked out was displayed beautifully and no one knew otherwise. This was also done at my brother-in-law’s funeral last year. Not an uncommon practice. The death certificate and urn were ready the following week. It did help tremendously that my parents had everything pre-planned and paid for only because there were less decisions to make.”
