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 my grandmother passed from this life in May 2024, the folks at Layne’s were wonderful. We were kind of lost and in shock, but David, Abby, Darrell and Nancy were all so kind and helpful to us. It was a very difficult time, but they were all so amazingly understanding and helpful. I’m forever grateful to them for gently guiding us through the process and helping us have a beautiful service for my grandmother.”
