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
“My dad’s siblings didn’t have my dads funeral at Bowling’s but other family members and my husbands family suggested we get dads headstone through Bowling’s. They all have had good experiences with them. So, that’s what I did. Doug did a great job helping me find the perfect one. I wanted black granite so it took a couple months to come in from overseas. It always takes black granite awhile from what I’ve read online and what all the monument companies told me. We were so pleased when we realized it was set. It’s beautiful! It’s also a good size and it was hundreds cheaper than the other monument companies quoted me, for a much lesser stone. My brother, my aunt and myself were all chipping in to get it paid, with my brother and I paying larger amounts. I didn’t know until after it was set, my brother hadn’t paid his portion. I thought it was all paid in full. I was shocked Bowling’s set the headstone anyway without payment. No other place would even consider doing that. Not a chance. I appreciate their helpfulness from start to finish. They were always kind and patient. My family will finally be moving back to London in two years and I will always remember how great Bowling’s has been and use them from now on.”
