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 reached out to Mr Larnell to discuss pre-burial plans and process of working with a funeral home in St Louis for my loved one. He was very professional and compassionate in providing support in the process. Communication was transparent and worked well with the St Louis Funeral home. Thank you for all you provided and follow-up”

“Lawrence A. Jones is a very popular funeral home in Kansas City and they deserve it. This particular funeral was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done in my life and as a whole the business and all of the people that represented the business were fantastic. Duane Harvey is one of my favorite people, he answered all of my questions, made myself, and my family feel comfortable, and was very professional throughout.”
