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 through the hardest part of my life when my son passed away. I would not wish this for anyone. We had lots of support ...but we were numb and life had stopped as we knew it( as we wanted it to be) Lindsay Sherman was a knowledgeable, kind compassionate guide for us while we navigated through this awful time in our life. I don't think we could have gotten through it without her support and guidance. She informed us of every step along the way in this process. I would HIGHLY recommend Bohnenkamp Murdock Funeral Home,to anyone needing their services.”
