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
“Above and beyond is the what you can expect from Leavitt services and staff. At pre planning Eric met our mother and her beloved husband. He had everything in order when her husband passed suddenly and unexpectedly. His kindness and compassion was evident in everything he said and did. When our mom got sick, we turned to Eric again, he became like a counselor to us as we navigated her care as she passed. He and Brayden were so respectful and thorough with the final details as they implemented her final wishes for her Celebration of Life ceremony. The support staff kept us up to date with clear and detailed communication from start to finish. We will absolutely continue with Leavitt’s for ourselves and recommend them for our friends and family.”
— LeAnn Bates
