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
“People who came to get our loved one were polite and respectful. Met with Director in timely manner. Director was polite and helpful. Unfortunately their price was 2-3× more than anywhere else. Had to transfer to a more affordable funeral home. I was charged more than initial fee with no explanation from the Director we originally spoke with. No return phone calls after leaving numerous phone calls for the Director or a manager to call and explain. No receipt was mailed. No documentation explaining what I had to pay over the phone just to get my love one moved somewhere else.”
— Cindy Braud
“Caring and courteous staff. Explained everything with ease and a clear understanding. The Facility is peaceful and serene. It was a great choice for our loved one.💜”
— Penny Redden
