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 recently lost my mother and chose Waitt Funeral Home & Cremation Service to help me make arrangements. From the moment I made the appointment to the day I picked up my mother's ashes, Danny and Debbie had been nothing but helpful and accommodating. Being that this was my first experience making funeral arrangements- I had no idea what I was walking into. Danny answered all of my questions and made my experience quick and stress-free. My family has used Waitt Funeral Home for a few of my relatives and have been so helpful for each one. I couldn't be happier with the service I was provided and the professionalism of the staff I had met.”
