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
“Ryan was so kind. He walked my sister and I through the process and made a difficult situation effortless. He was on top of everything and if we had any questions he responded promptly.”
— Kris Roberts
“Ryan was extremely nice, helpful, took care of everything. I just recently needed assistance and he was able to help me. My mother passed in November. My sister-in-law recommended pre planning. I am so happy, I did that. I went to see Ryan in October. Everything is taken care of ahead of time. No payment, until my mom passed.”
— Tammie Crickman
