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
“This was the hardest time of my life. My husband passing was sudden tragic and traumatizing. Ducro was amazing. Guiding me through this whole process. Helping me with every aspect possible. My husband's home going service was beautiful. All the right touches. He looked amazing peaceful. They allowed me to do his hair for the service something I did for many years and it was a comfort to have that time with him. I was able to do everything in one meeting from making the arrangements to picking memorial items for our family. At a time when lost did not begin to describe how I felt. They were a guide and a comfort.”
— Toyia Cooper
