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 set up a contract with them for my mom. It was easy and Mike explained everything and exactly what to expect. The cost was clear. Mike was truly helpful and even flexible with when I could come by to make changes or additions. They are moving to Fairfield to partner up with another funeral home this month of July 2023, but any contracts are still honored. It's a blessing knowing everything is set up, so when the time comes i don't have the added stress of getting things in order on top of grieving. Thank you, Mike”
