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
“REPOSTING: My father passed in January and we have yet to receive his remains from cremation. We had to hold his memorial service with a damn basket full of pictures. It has been almost month. The funeral home offered little understanding as to why the cremation process takes so long or if there was even a date for his remains. A process that we thought seemed so seamless has drawn out our mourning. It's almost as if they do not truly care for the family and that this is only a financial process for them. I am saddened to think Kenneth Alexander and his family would provide this type of service to veteran and his family!”
