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 was here 5 days before she passed. Everyone was so phenomenal in tending to her needs and making sure she was comfortable. Also when she pushed her call button, they were there in seconds to see what she needed. I can not say enough about the care and compassion Sanctuary House has. They even brought me meals and drinks and didn't even have to ask This is 💯 better than any hospice nursing home setting. Dignity, caring and compassion is what Sanctuary House is all about!”

“Amazing, loving, and generous! The nurses and the aids that are taking care of my grandfather are wonderful, they truly care about his well being and ours as well. I can't speak highly enough about them, they are the Heart of Hospice and because of them my grandfather is able to stay at home, in his own Sanctuary.”
