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
“My husband and I have had Smart Cremation for a number of years. It was the best decision we ever made. My husband recently passed and Taeya stepped in and took care of everything for me. I was having to deal with VA also, but she took care of all my other needs for my husband. She also brought his ashes home and took care of everything. She was so passionate and caring of my feelings he entire time. I would highly recommend Smart Cremation to anyone who doesn't already have plans for their loved ones. Thank you again Taeya for all your wonderful and loving support in one of the hardest times of my life.”
— Mitzie Nau
“I am so glad we had prepared for this day many years ago. The seminar helped us decide it was the right thing to do. The book made it possible for us to make our wishes known and easier to carry out. When the time came it was a simple phone call and then Taeya helped me through the rest. She was kind, patient, and very helpful. It has been a [pleasure working with her.”
— Carrie Jo Wright
“We have just signed with Smart Cremation. We feel we have made a smart and economical decision. We attended a low-pressure presentation by Smart Cremation, and then we invited the presenters to our home. We each have a contract and expect that one of us or our children will receive the expected care and services when needed.The entire experience was professional.”
— Craig Hawbaker
