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
“When our son passed away very unexpectedly last week, The Cremation Society was incredibly kind and helpful. Jeanette in the Lee's Summit Office guided us through all the difficult decisions. We can't thank her enough for her compassion.”
— Jeff Wayman
“For such a horrible time in my life, I found much comfort in working with the people @ The Cremation Society. They were extremely compassionate, helpful, understanding and their pricing was fair and manageable. The passing of my young nephew of only 19 years was the worst time in my families lives. But they were not in it just for the money, they were in it to help. When I picked up my nephews ashes, the lady at the store front made some very heartfelt remarks and gesture that really helped me deal. Thank you again to all the were involved!”

— Molly
