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
“I sent a message requesting a quote online and called the number advertised as 24/7 to follow up when I hadn’t heard anything a couple of days later. The woman who answered made it very clear in her tone and in her statement that their office isn’t open on the weekends that she was very unhappy and put out to have to answer the phone on a Saturday. I have terminal cancer and am planning my own services so my family won’t need to. I’m SO relieved this it was not my family calling to let them know I’d passed and needed my body to be picked up. I can only imagine how horrible it would be to be treated this way just after losing someone. If I could give negative stars, I certainly would.”
— Julie George
“I worked with River View Funeral Home (and their partners at the cemetery) to handle both of my parents' interments last year. I couldn't have asked for a better experience during a very difficult time. Everyone I worked with - from the man who came to transport my dad to the funeral directors themselves - treated my parents and the rest of my family with so much respect, dignity, and care. Throughout the process, I felt listened to and never felt pressured or rushed into any decisions. I especially want to thank Maleah, who went above and beyond in her care and preparation for my mom. I won't forget her warmth and kindness. I would highly recommend River View to anyone navigating funeral arrangements after a loved one's passing.”
— Kate Moening
“My family has used River View three times now, for both my parents, and for my sister. I am so grateful for the kindness I was shown by the staff during these very painful, emotional times. I knew that my treasured loved ones would be handled with dignity and care, and that meant everything to me.”
— Leslie Henderson
