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 cannot say enough good things about Ziegenhein and Sons Funeral Home in South County. From the time that I walked in to make final arrangements for my loved one until after the services, I found the entire staff to be so caring, so conscientious in wanting everything to be perfect and what I wanted, extremely pleasant and comforting, and professional. The visitation and service were both so well done. The set up was excellent, staff was on hand to see that everything went well and to answer any requests. In weeks to follow, they reached out to see how I was doing and shared some grief support sessions via text, which was perfect as emotionally, I was not ready to attend a session in person. When I ordered a special piece of jewelry they have available, they made certain everything was they way I wanted it to look, and called me as soon as it arrive. I can't thank the staff enough all they have done for me on behalf of my loved one. Others in our family of friends have indicated that they were o impressed and they had never been to a Service that was quite as well arranged and the staff so friendly, supportive and kind. I agree with them .... and then some.”
