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.

“My mother, Vanetta Gierzak, passed away earlier this year, and the staff was very compassionate and caring, and the place was so beautiful. We were planning a closed casket until we saw how beautiful my mom looked and asked to keep it open. Thank you all so much for your loving, caring way for our family and friends. And especially making my mom look so beautiful. Sincerely, Mary Pegorch and family”

“I would like to thank you all for your support and caring words at my Fathers funeral service today. First I would like to thank Shawn for walking us through setting up the arrangements and making sure everything was as my Father wanted. Shawn took his time with every detail and was patient and caring when we had questions and didn’t understand some aspects of the arrangements. He did a wonderful job with the obituary and the photo slide show. You all were helpful, caring and compassionate. Thank you Jim for your help and compassion. Thank you Deacon Tom Fraser for speaking on the family’s behalf and giving the eulogy and sermon. My Father looked beautiful as well as his flower placements. Thank you are for what you do I know all your jobs are not easy and I appreciate you 🫶”
