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 never hoped to need the services of Endswell so early in my life, but when I found myself in the position of needing to choose a Funeral Home after tragedy, I was confident in my choice of Endswell. Based on my brief experience of them at the Orange County Death Cafe, I felt certain that this business would be supportive of all my families needs at the hardest time in our lives. I was right. Hunter and Veronica were very kind and gentle with us, very transparent in their pricing, and took extra care to follow our family's spiritual care requests. It was important to us that the body not be left alone from drop off to processing of the remains, which was complicated by the hospital's delay finalizing the death certificate. Hunter stayed at their office overnight and well into the morning accompanying our daughter's body until the paperwork was settled and her body could be put to rest. For this small but monumental act I will be forever grateful. I cannot recommend Endswell highly enough.”
— Susan Nobblitt
“Endswell is the perfect name for what I consider a sacred space held by Hunter and Veronica Beattie. They are one of kind. No other funeral home, that I’m aware of comes close to providing the expertise, warmth and compassion that they provide. I would say the same of the employees. They do death differently, with a deep reverence for human life.”
— HOLLY MENARD
“How absolutely wonderful that Endswell is branching out to a second location! Hunter and Veronica and their team are all superb at their jobs and such a valuable addition to our community. Congratulations, and keep up all the good work each of you do!”
