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
“Our experience from end to end was perfect. Hanah, the Funeral Director was helpful during the entire process keeping us informed via texts and emails - her assistant was great as well. I had to set up the Visitation Room by myself, so having Kathy there to help me position photos, icons and flowers was invaluable - the room was warm and inviting. Rich and Billy provided a loving, supportive and empathetic presence during each service. Thank you Chris and team for all you did to make a difficult situation as easy as possible for the family!”
— Mary Denise Verses
