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
“Everyone who helped us prearrange and follow through with our Mothers Funeral were extremely friendly and supportive. They made this difficult process so much easier by making us feel comfortable and allowing us the time needed to make sure we made all the best decisions for our family. Preplanning was definitely the best decision we made and the options they provided were perfect for our Mother’s funeral. We felt very comfortable with everyone and would highly recommend them. Thank you to Bill, Elizabeth and staff for everything.”
