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 can't thank Shafer's enough for the care and thoughtfulness that we received from Candace, Eric and Jack. We suffered a huge family loss and unlike the funeral homes in and around Canadian, that let their greed take the lead, they offered us everything we needed without taking us for every penny they could. Shafer's priority is making your family feel comforted and taking care of your loved one. Thank you all for making one of the hardest times in our lives less stressed and less of a financial burden. God bless you for the services you provide and the love and care in which you do it.”
