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.

“We met with Chris the day after my Mother passed away. This was a difficult time but Chris made everything so much easier. Everyone was great from having to change all the arrangements due to some family members getting Covid. My beautiful Mother was beautiful & looked so peaceful. They certainly went above and beyond in working so willingly with us. Thank you everyone at Betts and West Funeral Home.”
