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
“They acted so professional, while acting sympathetic. They answered my questions patiently. Put the place, time and date of my dad's service on their website very quickly. My parents picked this funeral home and what they wanted before their passing away, so it was very easy for me when the time came to meet with them. The 2 gentlemen who came to pick up my dad's body were so kind. I appreciated each person at this establishment. Thank you so much.”
— Donda Johnsom
“I got a call about 11:30 at night to let me know my husband had passed away and where did I want the hospital to send his body. I called and spoke with Gayla who graciously helped me as I was not prepared for his passing. My husband and I had not planned our funeral arrangements so I relied heavily on Gayla and she never let me down. She and Steve met with my daughters and me and walked us through the process. They were both so compassionate and professional. The service was phenomenal with the memorial table highlighting Larry’s life in such a special way. It is so evident this staff is concerned about the welfare of their clients and what they are going through with the loss of a loved one and concentrate on how they can make this process the best it can be during such a difficult time. I am so very grateful for each one of them!”
— Nancy Jones
