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
“We have used Hoyt Funeral Home several times over the past 15 years. Most recently, I worked with Tom, Brian, and Rene for my aunt’s celebration of life service and graveside burial. They provided the most professional services, down to every detail in the most compassionate manner. They are willing and able to accommodate every need, and make themselves available anytime of day to answer questions or make suggestions.”
