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
“Kathy was kind, patient, and helpful as I navigated making pre-funeral arrangements for my husband and I. I appreciated that she did not put pressure on me to make decisions quickly or to pre-pay for arrangements that I did not feel were in my budget at the time. She also followed up well.”
— Adelia Brown
“I made my husband's cremation plans with Ruffner-Wakelin Funeral Home, ( a beautiful Victorian building), and decided to make my own plans ahead of time, so my family wouldn't have to incur any costs. Kathie Reis, their representative, met with me and assisted in my choices, including picking out an urn. It was a stress free experience, reasonably priced, and it it lifted a weight off my shoulders. 5 Star Service”
