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.

“Yorgensen did a beautiful job with my father’s service. However, my family has since learned of the predatory nature of their services for what should have been a simple disposition. Exorbitant fees for basic paperwork and other services. Shane’s management of my father’s monument was very disappointing. COVID played a big part in the length of time it took for it to be placed (almost two years). However, he gave my siblings a lot of misdirection and false updates. His excuses were blatant lies which I caught him backtracking on a few times once I took up the follow up from my exasperated sister. Eric was the knight in shining armor who moved heaven and earth to quickly resolve my concerns.Thank you, Eric, for rectifying Shanes’s false info. It all ended up well in the end. However, the process was very painful for my family.”
