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 family had always worked with Burchams since I was a kid. All through the years I never heard anyone complain about any of the usual issues some have had at other companies. My family and myself have continued to use Burcham Tobias even after the merger of companies. They have taken the best care of my family. They are considerate at one of the most difficult times. They treat the entire family with dignity and respect especially your deceased loved one. Nothing is assumed. They confirm everything that they do with you. Definitely removing as much pressure as possible while making decisions. It’s definitely more than just a funeral home.”
— Carla Lawson
“The staff was very kind and compassionate worked well with my sister and I coordinate bringing our mother home from Florida to be buried with our father at Byron cemetery in Fairborn, Ohio.”
— Jamie Lyons
“My great aunt passed away recently in Springfield and being from Columbus myself, I was at a loss as to where to begin in planning the service. The Burcham family was absolutely wonderful. They guided me through each step from the initial meeting through the burial and it was beautiful. Phil and his co-workers went above and beyond to ensure my aunt's final wishes were fulfilled. I am very grateful for their care and support.”
— Nicole Lykens
