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.

Steven was an absolute delight to work with in a time of crisis. He was incredibly attentive, honest, respectful, responsive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He guided us with compassion, answered every question thoroughly, and made sure we understood each step along the way. In a moment filled with grief and uncertainty, Steven brought clarity and comfort. We truly felt cared for. I highly recommend Steven and Aspen Mortuaries to any family in need of a thoughtful, professional, and supportive team.”
