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.

“When my loved one passed, we had no idea how the process worked, but Epting Funeral Home helped us navigate everything with care and patience while we were grieving. From the start, I made it clear that one of my family members was not to be involved or given information, and the staff seemed very receptive to our wishes. However, there was a moment where one of the staff, with a good heart, made a decision that went against what we had requested. He was not upfront at first, and I found out from someone else, but once I addressed it, he admitted it honestly and worked quickly to provide a solution. The owner also stepped in and handled everything well. Overall, we appreciated that Epting is a local business with fair prices. Despite that one issue, they were compassionate, supportive, and respectful during one of the hardest times of our lives.”

“Ricky and the staff were absolutely AMAZING!!!! He walked us through every step of the way through the terrible journey. He did things for us that we didn't think of!!!! You cannot go wrong using them. Our loved one looked really good. The service was great! He gave us suggestions on things that we couldn't figure out and didn't know what to do. He was like an extended family member!!!! They treated us like family! I'm so glad we used him and the family is so glad too. He put us first! He made our feelings a priority!!!! You absolutely can't go wrong using Ricky and the staff!!!! They are the best!!!!! I just can't say enough good things about them. I highly recommend to go talk with them!!!!!”

“We are on our second time using Epting Funeral Home. They are the most respectful people. In a situation where you’ve lost a family member, they work so well with the family and there is no pressure. The cost is so very reasonable. They really work hard to make sure there is no stress on the family. I feel Blessed we found them to handle the final arrangements for my mother-in-law and brother”
