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
“Legacy Funeral Home was the bright light during a dark hour for me recently. I live in Georgia and my family member who passed unexpectedly lived in Alaska. I had no possible way to travel to Alaska to handle internment details. I was at a loss and felt desperate. The funeral director, Josh, listened to my situation and helped me by phone make all the necessary arrangement with minimal stress. I was amazed. Thank you Josh, you will forever be in my memory of the person who was there to help.”
— Patty Sheffield
“Our son died on Halloween and they took 2 months to get the doctor signature on the death certificate. I called them 5 times left messages which were mostly ignored. I will tell everyone I know to not make the mistake I made and use this company.”
— Vicki Nisonger-Maack
“Their process for anything is very slow. They don’t even call back or call for anything. I had to call and show up so many times to get an initial apt with them all the way through receiving the death certificate. It’s been 2 months since my mom passed and I haven’t received her death certificate or any of the life insurance money after funeral costs. All they needed from me was my grandmas maiden name and never once had the decency to call me to let me know that’s all they needed for the dea to certificate to process. I called them again to see where they were at with life insurance pay out and where my jewelry was, they said they would call me. NEVER DID THEY CALL ME! Don’t ever go with Legacy Funeral Home in Wasilla. You’ll never get anything done unless you’re standing over their shoulder to make sure things get done.”
