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
“Our mom passed away last week and it has been such a sad and stressful time trying to tie up all the loose ends. Someone recommended A Wise Choice and we met with Daniel today. We were expecting the arrangements to be far more complicated and expensive but we were shocked at how affordable he made it. We thought we were going to be spending $5,000+ but it actually came out to only about $1200 for cremation, 3 urns etc. Definitely not fun planning for after death services but Daniel made it much easier.”
— Jacob Schmidt
