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.

“Ms. Carolyn kept me informed during the entire process. She went above and beyond. I had forgotten to take earrings to the funeral home for my niece, and on the day we were to give the approval for public viewing, Ms. Carolyn asked me if it was ok that she had put earrings on my niece. I thanked her and really appreciated that. All of the funeral drivers were very professional and I cannot thank them or Ms. Carolyn enough for the support provided my family and me at that difficult time. If you want professional and caring service after the loss of your loved one, I highly recommend Roberts Funeral Services.”
