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
“I have been doing business with the McClure family for over 36 years. Back when the funeral home was known as Connelly and McClure. I have entrusted the McClure family with two of my most treasured things in my life, my mother in 1990 and my wife this January 2026. The tradition hasn't changed. They make you feel like family when you are dealing with life's hardest moments. Lossing a loved one is beyond difficult, Entrusting McClure's with my wife was the most natural choice I could make during these difficult times. When my wife passed away recently, it was comforting to know they were there in my time of need. From the transportation from the hospital to making the arrangements, to the exceptional services. With the professionalism, care and comfort which they provided. I would expect no less from Scott and the staff at McClure funeral home. Scott is " The Gold Standard of Professionalism and Grace". I had many, many people come to be after the funeral to say how wonderful the services, and everything was done. When life's difficult moments comes again I will have comfort in knowing the decision of where to turn is a simple one. I want to say a HUGE thank you to Scott and all of his staff at McClure Funeral Home. Job well done! Sincerely Victor Mullins”
