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
“Our mother, Mrs. Edith V. Bailey, passed away on 11/07/2025. Theo C. Auman Inc. Funeral Home made us feel at ease from the moment we walked in to plan arrangements. The atmosphere was one of serenity and peace. Bianca, our funeral director, was exceptional. She was patient, relatable, compassionate, thorough, and incredibly understanding. She took the time to explain every detail. The entire team handled everything with professionalism, care, and true consideration. One gesture that meant so much to us was Bianca wearing a pink blouse and having a pink-decorated Christmas tree—our mother’s favorite color. It was a small detail, but it showed how much they cared. We are deeply grateful for the support, compassion, and thoughtfulness we received. Theo C. Auman Inc. Funeral Home made an incredibly hard moment a little lighter for our family.”

— Derick Blessing
“Your gracious service extended to us during our time of need was so much appreciated, especially since I am in Virginia and had to transact business over the phone. I trusted you to provide quality service and it was much more than that. Thanks again, Patricia A. Wormley”
