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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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
“I lost my dad in October of 24 and my mom last week. Don was amazing at helping me through the entire process. He made the waters easy to tread with his humorous but sensitive personality. His office staff was also prompt and courteous. I wouldnt recommend anywhere else.”
— Heather Ebel
“My father did not leave much money when he passed and I don't have much of my own so I was quite worried how we were going to be able to send my father off respectfully. But Don was very helpful and made it very affordable, enough that anyone can have a very nice service and I really appreciate how he was able to help my family.”
— Angie Eggers
