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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 spectacular wife passed recently and I was recommend to Cremate Simply by her wonderful hospice nurse, Olivia Have to say, given the absolutely most challenging moment of my life…CS made the situation as stressful free as could possibly be, in particular Mr. Scott Keen! Mr, Keen is who I interacted with from the very beginning to the end when I went to their facility to collect Skye’s ashes. Scott took great care of EVERY detail, answered any all questions I had…I called him MULTIPLE times in my disarray over the weeks and he was always compassionate, sincere and on point to answer any and all of my questions and concerns; he was/is truly there for me. 10 stars”
— Jason Nance
“I am delighted at the service I received at Tristar Cremation from Scott! I can’t say thanks enough for the type of work and care you put into my mother and father’s cremation. Very much would recommend! Mother and father would be so pleased as am I. Thanks so much!”

“Everyone I spoke with was absolutely amazing. But I have to really brag on Meegan. The day I picked my dad's ashes up and his veterans flag Meegan stayed late because my work truck had broke down. I felt awful but she reassured me that it was ok, and that she wasn't upset at all. She was very sweet about the whole situation and I'm grateful for that. Very please with everyone there.”
