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 family and I were most happy with the services offered by the Spicer-Mullikin Funeral Home in Newark. My husband was 87 when he died, and had lived a full and productive life. We wanted to honor him and all of his accomplishments with the kind of funeral he wished to have. Spicer-Mullikin succeeded in delivering what was requested! His body was prepared as he wished.We were able to have an intimate private viewing before the casket was closed and covered with his flag. The service was low keyed and dignified, as he was. The surroundings are lovely, like a beautiful antique home. It turned out exactly as we had wished it would. The funeral home personnel were wonderful. We especially appreciate the work of the funeral director, Mitch Jackson, who was very supportive in handling all of our requests. It turned out to be exactly what we had wanted.”
