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.

She was there for us from start to finish and has even checked on us since. Great people with wonderful service. Highly recommend Janet Piar to handle your loved ones final arrangements.”

“Brad Wood and the rest of the members at Nicholson did a great job with our Mother during our time of grief. Brad went over and above the job to help us with Paul Bearing duties and playing music. Not to mention he also did the service during his schedule day off. The care he showed was more than a job, but something a family member would do for a loved one. Brad Wood and the rest of the Nicholson members are great people to deal with during this difficult time with family. Thank you for all your kindness and help with our Mother, June Souther.”
— Keith Souther
