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 am very grateful for the kindness and caring I got from Preston & Simons. They handled the arrangements for my grandparents years ago, and when my mother unexpectedly passed away, I called them to handle her passing. Brandon was very helpful and responsive. He showed kindness throughout the process and truly helped to make such a difficult time in my life easier and less stressful. My family really appreciates how they took care of my mom and treated us.”

“Losing my father was one of the hardest experiences of my life, but Preston and Simon Mortuary helped ease the burden during such a painful time. From the very beginning, they handled everything with care, professionalism, and deep compassion. Brandon Anderson, our funeral director, was truly exceptional. He was honest and direct — which we appreciated — but also incredibly kind and understanding. He guided us through each step of the process with patience and empathy, helping us make decisions without ever feeling pressured or overwhelmed. What stood out the most is how this place doesn't get nearly enough recognition for the work they do. The care, dignity, and quiet strength they offer grieving families is something truly special, and I’m so grateful we were in their hands during such a difficult moment. Thank you to Brandon and the entire team at Preston and Simon for honoring my father with respect and making the process as smooth as possible. You made a painful time a little more bearable. Unfortunately, I will be needing of their services again due to another passing in our family, just three weeks after my father's, but I know we will be in great hands.”
