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.

“Caldwell Parrish was professional, courteous, and caring through the entire services. Very detailed oriented and accommodating in every way. They made our bad time a lot easier to get through. Highly recommended!”
— Conni Crees
“I absolutely cannot speak highly enough of this establishment. They helped me and my family through the toughest of times with the final arrangements of my immediate family. We live over 18 hours away so trying to plan a funeral while traveling is extremely difficult and exhausting. The people at Caldwell Parrish helped us with everything we needed and helped us with ideas that would honor our loved ones wishes. We had to plan 2 funerals less than a year apart and they did fantastic!! I would highly recommend Cadwell Parrish and the staff to help with any final arrangements you may need. Thank you again!!”
— Jeff Rynearson
“Everyone at Caldwell Parish was so kind and helpful. When my mom passed away unexpectedly on August 1st, your compassion and support made a terrible and stressful time so much easier to bear. I’m so grateful for the care you showed my family.”
