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
“Charles step funeral home was absolutely great! Their workers there were very, very helpful and everything turned out perfectly. I would definitely recommend this funeral home”
— Shelley Harlukowicz
“Zero stars. This place misplaced our dear mother’s ashes and gave us someone else’s ashes in place, which we eventually found out from the other mom’s family looking for her missing ashes. It was a nightmare and still haunts me. The ashes had to be exhumed from the grave beside my father. Such a hard thing to go through at a tragic time.”
— Robin White
“On a day riddled with such heavy and overwhelming emotions, the staff at Charles R. Step Funeral Home brought a sense of ease and comfort when we needed it most. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail did not go unnoticed—from the floral arrangements to gathering every available chair to ensure as many guests as possible could be seated. We are very grateful for their support and compassion. The care they showed made an incredibly difficult day a little more bearable, and we truly can’t thank them enough!”
