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
“Chris and everyone at Brookside have been amazing to me. My youngest son passed away on December 18th 2025 and I didn’t know what to do because I wasn’t prepared and Chris made it easy for me to understand everything. They were all kind during this time of mourning. And I am having to use them again today because of my mother who passed away on the 4th of March this year. I would have completely been lost without them.. Thank you all Chris and everyone at Brookside Funeral Home.”
