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
“My sister died in September and Richard was absolutely wonderful in assisting my brother in law and I with the arrangements. The funeral home was beautiful and home like and Richard did a wonderful job with the photos, flower arrangements and video of the service. The whole team there was wonderful and made such a sad time for our family a little brighter.”
— rebecca quigg
“A heartfelt thank you to Mr Richard Snyder for his Professional Services, compassion and positive representation of what a dedicated Funeral Service professional should be. I reached out to Richard when I was in need of Professional Services for our own funeral establishment. As a funeral director myself, I attempt to do my best to locate a funeral establishment and funeral director with high reputation, when searching for assistance in an unfamiliar area. Richard recently assisted our Funeral Home and we couldn't be more pleased. Communication, attention to detail and timely responses were provided from our initial contact onward. Families choosing Richard as their funeral director will be treated with the dignity and respect they deserve during the loss of a loved one.”

“Richard did an incredible job with our Mother’s services! He was very generous with giving us an enlarged picture of our Mom & cremation boxes for no charge. His prices are very reasonable and we were kept up to date through the whole process. Richard really made us feel like our Mother was in great caring hands🫶🏻”
