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
“Tom and his team provided my family with outstanding support during my father’s passing, wake, and funeral. His space for services is warm, spacious, and has a beautiful view at sunset - what we wanted. Appreciated the separate two rooms for folks to gather in smaller groups - with coffee/lite bites- and we were able to connect our computer to two large screen TVs to simultaneously show a looping slide show of family pics. His prices are clear and incredibly fair. Thanks so much.”
