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.

“In January, Spicer-Mullikin - New Castle location prepared the funeral arrangements for our brother, Edward Jenks. From the moment we first walked into Spicer-Mullikin after our brother’s passing, we were comforted by sincere kindness and compassion. All staff, including custodial, and especially Mary Etta and Lauren, went out of their way to bring comfort in that difficult time. All arrangements were handled straightforward with professionalism and compassion and ease. We were so pleased with all of the arrangements, the peacefully respectful viewing and the process of the cremation afterwards. Thank you to Spicer-Mullikin staff for your kindness and making a difficult time less stressful.”

“Spicer-Mullikin far exceeded our expectations! Matt and his team were responsive, warm, and professional, making everything easy while honoring all of our wishes and guiding us when we couldn’t decide.They did an amazing job—my dad looked exactly like himself! Their attention to detail was outstanding, from grooming his beard perfectly to enhancing photos and adding thoughtful personal touches. They even accommodated a last-minute request without hesitation. During a time when you feel numb and lost, it felt like having a trusted friend taking care of our family and ensuring everything was handled as if it were their own. My dad had specifically requested them because of how beautifully they took care of everything when my grandmother passed years ago. I highly recommend them to anyone!”
