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.

“I called to make cremation arrangements for my dog earlier this week. The lady said they could, all I needed to do was drop my dog at the Mansfield location and she even said she would call them to let them know I was coming the next day. Well I came from Seville(53 mins away) with a 90lb dethawing dog to be told they don’t do pet cremation anymore. I was so upset because it was later in the day and I didn’t where to go from there other then taking my pup home and some how putting her in my chest freezer.”
