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
“My grand parents, sister, step father and my mother are here. Always well maintained and when I call to make arrangements for a lost soul to join them they are so helpful.”
— David Steffen
“A beautifully ran cemetery that a lot of my ancestors are buried at. Everything is kept nice and tidy and staff are always friendly.”
— Sammy Hager
“You have a mole program they are not just destroying plants but undermining gravestones. Watering stations are hard to find. My stone has been damaged by Snowplowers. Urns now have cheap flowers and feel sorry for those who are paying for them to be filled. Cemetery used to be prettier. Your workers are tearing out annuals that have just been planted.”
— Joanne Kind
