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
“Springfield Mortuary Services made a very difficult day so much easier on our family. It only took a quick call and they pick my fathers remains up from the hospital, dressed him and make him looks so at peace. Thankful for the last views of my father to be such peaceful ones thanks to their hard work. Prices were very affordable. They also filled my urns for me after the fact and answered every question I had. I hope to not need them anytime soon but if I do I will be returning here.”
— Lauren Ladd
“Collected my family member from more than an hour away without extra fees. Doesn't provide space for services like funeral parlors/homes but does a wonderful job of planning and helping complete final plans. Cremation service was very well priced and cost less than $1,000. No up sells or shifty sales. They definitely made a difficult unexpected time easier.”
— WinterWind Wolfe
“Our business has had a relationship with Springfield Mortuary Service for many, many years. We wouldn't think of using anybody else in the Springfield area. They have always treated us very well.”
— Sheldon FH
