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
“I’m flabbergasted by any negative review on here because we used this company very recently for our mother and received nothing but kindness and professionalism from the moment they picked up her body at home till the moment I picked up her death certificates. Dominic was unbelievably patient with our 3-ring-circus, kind, to the point and gave the perfect amount of condolences right upfront. If I could give extra stars for taking on dealing with our nasty estranged, brother, I would. They even gave us a nice bag to carry her away in, something from the heart and not bought in bulk on the internet.”
— Angel Godet
“Our experience with Cremation Society was very good and we highly recommend them. They were helpful and kind, patiently answered our questions and provided information. They handled my dad's body with gentle respect and that meant a lot to me. Thank you!”

“Having to use their services was the hardest day of my life! My son was killed in an accident and they were one of the vendors suggested by the hospital. They were prompt, professional and patient with me. Unfortunately. I know I will need their services again and won’t hesitate to call.”
