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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“Simple Choice Cremation was incredible to my family during the sudden death of our mother while she was out of town, visiting Chambersburg. They went above and beyond to bring us comfort and peace, while making her arrangements stress-free. Erika was on top of everything, even though my mother passed the day before Thanksgiving. They quickly took care of my mother’s remains and left me feeling reassured while they handled everything for me. My mother’s cremains were mailed to me very quickly and with such care. I truly felt that they had treated us as they would their own family members. Their prices are very reasonable, as well! I can’t find enough words to express how grateful we are for Simple Choice Cremation and HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you Simple Choice and Erika!”
