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
“Pecks Funeral Home handled my brother’s funeral recently and Russell Peck along with the complete staff at Pecks did a great job for my family at such a difficult time. Each of the staff handled their part of the process as smoothly and professionally as anyone could expect. The staff at Pecks handled the important documents, they made the arrangements for the cremation and provided us with a beautiful presentation of the Ern for burial at the grave site where they had also arranged the setup of an awning with chairs. Russell presided over Joe’s ceremony at the grave site. Great job everyone at Pecks.”

“My Mom was picked up by the kind staff right away when she recently passed. At the viewing, we were extremely pleased with how beautiful she looked in her lovely coffin; it was amazing and reassuring to have her looking so lifelike. The flowers (red and white roses) were stunning and comforting. The room was warm and welcoming with beautiful carpeting. The prayers that the staff led at the end of the viewing were perfect. We went to the graveside service immediately after the viewing and there was a nice canopy and chairs. The limo fit seven so there was plenty of room. Our driver took us by our old house before the cemetery. After our service, a Peck staff member led us in prayers. It was a perfect funeral and a comfort as we said goodbye to our dear Mother.”
